489 total yards announced for Devin White in the 51-47 comeback win for North Webster over Patterson. Is that a record?? Good grief!

He plays linebacker too. Made 28 tackles on defense in addition to the offensive output.

Geaux Knights!

I know everyone likes him at RB but I would love to see him at LB for LSU.

He doesn't have any preference. Likes to play defense as well as offense. He's still growing. Could be a scary DE in Chief's scheme by the time he gets to college.

Devin had a very special night indeed (as did the rest of the Knights football team, especially the offensive line). It was an even more impressive performance considering HOW he got the yards. With the type of offense NWHS runs, Devin doesn't get many "easy" runs or runs "in space." He gets a lot of yardage between the tackles and a LOT of yards after first contact. Patterson was a good team (#7 seed) w/ a hard hitting and athletic defense. Devin was frequently gang-tackled. It takes a lot of strength and energy to get up after going down under 500-750# of tacklers. And as already mentioned, this was done while going both ways nearly the entire game. It's scary to think what he could do only playing on either offense or defense. Looking forward to the Knights having the opportunity Fri to avenge last years playoff loss to Amite.

One of my good friends talks to him daily. He is 100% LSU.

I was there and thought he had an awesome game and was asked to do alot. Although definitely didn't see about half of the supposed 28 tackles someone above said he had. Saw him on the bench a lot while team was on D. Also thought he will be much improved when he gets in better shape. I know it is extremely hard to play as much as he did, but the kid looked gassed in the mid first and third quarters as well as late in the second and fourth. Lazy in his stance, but would pop up and drag about half their D for 5-15 yards a carry.

Also did not like the attitude he was portraying when the team got down big in the third quarter. One kickoff in particular he was back returner and didn't bother even coming up to block when it was sky kicked for a teammate fifteen yards ahead of him. Just walked behind the play. Coach chewed his arse, and don't think he would've gone back in the game for most coaches. But letting him play was the only way the team got back in the game. Hope he isn't a liability from an attitude standpoint.

Wade,
I agree w/ your observations. I'll make one clarification though re: conditioning. From my perspective it's hard to know when Devin's gassed and when he's breathless from being "hyped up."; sometimes he "thinks" he's gassed, but he's not really. I hope some of that gets better w/ maturity and discipline; afterall, he just turned 17. I'd like to see him act like he's not tired, even if he is. I don't think he yet realizes how badly it affects the team when he starts dragging. Coaches are continually working to improve this. Having said all that, he's an AWESOME talent and would be an asset to LSU.

He didn't have even close to 28 tackles. He also does have a negative attitude. If he doesn't get the ball he never blocks and sometimes doesn't even move, as he did on the kickoff the other night. But he is getting a whole lot better at that and is gaining more respect from his team each week. By the time he graduates he will be a beast on the field, in the classroom, and at life. He is a great kid.

OnTheHill - I see your point an excitement at what kind of potential he has. I hope you are right and this kid really comes along in the next 12-15 months and becomes a Tiger.

Byrdman - I think we observed similar things in White the other night. I kept thinking (up until about the last 10 minutes of the game) that if I was a college coach/scout, I wouldn't see what the big deal was. Then he turned it on and impressed me from a player standpoint. But up until the end, he showed a negative attitude and looked like an out-of-shape talent. It's one thing to be tired late in a game and not be able to go 100% when you are in every down, it's another thing entirely to act disinterested in every play you aren't asked to touch the ball. Hate to be harsh, but from a pure spectator standpoint, I would like to see the kid play more for the team. I hope he is humble enough to fully realize the opportunities he has in his future.

I've had a little experience with Devin. He's a super nice kid but he probably doesn't realize how much he's being scrutinized. He wants to be the ball carrying superstar and I don't blame him for that. But he needs to work on his team skills and his presentation skills for sure. lol. I think LSU can take care of that in one spring.

Ready to see if he can lead them to victory Friday night. Good luck to the team.

By the way Devin is only 16 and had played his heart out Friday night. I watched him ask to come out one time and the coach left him in. When you give the kid the ball 8 times in a row what do you expect for him. Now it's funny you want to see him lead them this week too.
