In his junior and senior seasons at USC, White was dominant. He rushed for a combined 3,909 yards and 32 touchdowns, leading the Trojans to two Rose Bowl wins. He ranks fourth all-time on the NCAA career rushing yards leaderboard.

White's NFL career, however, was a disappointment. The Browns took him with the No. 27 pick in the 1980 draft, and he rushed for only 1,378 combined yards in his first six seasons. He battled a drug addiction during his career, which greatly hindered his play. He signed with the Los Angeles Rams in 1985, reuniting with his former college coach, John Robinson. White did enjoy a resurgent 1987 season, leading the league with 1,374 rushing yards.
