Devin White Wins Butkus Award

I heard he had to sit out the first half of the ceremony.

I really did hear he plans on coming back next year, despite being projected a high first rounder. Is this true?

I haven’t heard this, but I’d advise against it. Unless getting a degree means that much to him.

I think it is crazy, but if he thinks he can be a top 3 pick next year, it might actually pay off. And a degree, of course, is nothing to sneeze at but he can come back and finish school in the off season.

He used #FinishStrong in his tweet saying he was gonna play in the Fiesta bowl.
I assume that’s where he finishes his LSU career.

It was a couple statements he made on social media and in interviews that ranters took too far. After the bama game they asked him about his loss and he replied with something like I lost too our rival in high school my first 3 years but beat them my senior year ( people thought he was talking about his senior year).
He also commented on a post by our line backer number 6. Said something like can’t wait for next year when it’s 6 playing next to 7. Again.. ranters took this as his prediction he was coming back and wearing 7. I don’t think this is any way true just probably where you got it from

Definitely well deserved. Congrats to him and all of his fans.

I think his best quality was his ability to call the defense and put his teammates in position to make tackle before he got there.

And he is playing in the bowl game. #RESPECT

Sorry I missed the coachdon melt until today.

From all appearances, and I could be wrong, but it seems like White comes from a good family that isn't struggling. I base this on the fact that his family has a farm with 6 horses and he has another horse he has stabled in Baton Rouge that he rides every day. He also seems to be one of those players that genuinely seems to enjoy being a college student. Now, with that said, I still won't hold my breath about him coming back until it happens.
