Devin White is just too cool

I have grandson that has moved in with me. 8th grade, 13 years old, size 15 shoe, 6’2” and 230.
Took him to a football camp in Springhill today and Devon White was there. After the camp the kids were getting him to sign their shirts. It appeared to me he was ignoring my grandson. After he signed everyone else’s shirt and they began to walk away he turned to my grandson and said,
“Your Makhi Reed, I heard about from the coaches and after watching you I can tell you got what it takes to make it as a linebacker. I want to give you my cellphone number. I want you to call me and I will send you drills that we do at LSU that will help you to get better.”
I am still absolutely stunned. He so did not have to do that. He just made a 13 year old boys, day, week, month, year.
Devin thank you sir!

That's incredible. Will definitely a phenomenal leader for this years team! Serious props to D. White.

That’s how you start the recruiting process. Sounds a lot like dale brown recruitment of Shaq started

Seems like a great guy.

That’s awesome! Devin is a stand up Tiger that represents the entire State of Louisiana well. But if he’s that big in 8th grade then Coach O and Dennis Johnson may fight for him to look at DL

Devin White is just to cool

Likely to be the coolest thing I will hear all day. It is simply going to be hard to top that story.

6 2 230 in 8th grade? Hell probably be a tackle by the end of High School
Posted on 7/21/18 at 7:13 pm to Camel24hrs
What kind of a complete arse would down vote this story?
Posted on 7/21/18 at 8:43 pm to Camel24hrs
I hope Devin White rips a Bama players head off

Pretty close to Devin's ht/wt when he was a freshman in HS.
Congrats, granddad! Although I know your grandson was pumped, I'll bet you were even more excited! And yes, I expect Devin to represent LSU w/ class while racking up accolades this season. Devin has matured a lot in a good way.
