White: “Honestly, at that point, I was almost ready to give up and give in. I had spoken to my father after the Rutgers game and we talked about how frustrated I was with the amount of snaps I was getting. The week before we had played Virginia Tech and we almost came back and beat them, but we lost on a few mishaps that cost us. He pretty much told me to go out every day that week, the Louisville week, and give everything I had for every play I was in during practice. If at the end of the week I felt the same, he would at that time bring me my baseball glove and I was going to head for professional baseball. I’m thankful I was able to reach out to somebody I loved and trusted and got that advice. Because had I not had anybody to speak with, I would have been very frustrated that week and when my opportunity arose in the Louisville game, I wouldn’t have been ready.”
