Devin, you are a first class human being. I believe that if it made even 1% sense you would’ve stayed but it just didn’t. Thanks for representing us well and best wishes for a great future.

How can you not pull for this guy. He played hard for LSU, he worked hard and left everything on the practice field and the playing field. Well deserved. God Bless you, young man.

THAT is how to make an announcement. Well done Mr. White. Thank you for all you have given of yourself to Tiger Nation. We know you gave al the blood, sweat, and tears that you could. Every public appearance you made always demonstrated complete humility and class. Best wishes for continued success on the next level.

D White is a legendary Tiger.

Someone rated that high would be foolish not to declare. I love having good players stay, but the insurance is not a sure thing and these guys have to strike while their stock is at its highest.

What a great Tiger. I know it was a hard choice but I think you made the correct one. We are going to miss you.
