Whatever happened to these 30 forgotten college football superstars?

15. Jason White, quarterback, Oklahoma

Former Rams and Eagles head coach Dick Vermeil famously said about 2003 Heisman Trophy winner Jason White that maybe he should go to the Arena League to hone his skills. White was not drafted, but the Patriots drafted USC quarterback Matt Cassel in the seventh round. Cassel never started at USC.

White had reconstructive knee surgery on both knees after consecutive anterior cruciate ligament tears in 2001 and 2002. Those injuries to both knees took away White’s ability to scramble in the pocket.

White overcame those ACL tears during his collegiate career to have one of the most exemplary careers in Oklahoma Sooners history. Though White did not win a BCS National Championship, the Tuttle High School standout led the Sooners to consecutive championship games.

When White’s career in Norman was over, he was the Sooners’ all-time leader in passing yards (8,102) and touchdowns (81). While at Oklahoma, White was a two-time Heisman Trophy finalist (winning in 2003) and a two-time Davey O’Brien Award Winner.

White was Big 12 offensive player of the year twice and a unanimous All-American in 2003 and won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award in 2004. Perhaps White’s best game was the 2003 Rose Bowl, where the Sooners defeated Washington State, and he was named game MVP.
