White was a consensus All-Americaselection and Pac-10 Player of the Year in '78 (1859 yards & 18TD's) before taking home the Heisman Trophy and just about every othercollege player of the year award in 1979. He capped each year with anMVP performance in the Rose Bowl. As a senior in '79 he rushed for 2050yards with 19 TD's before moving on to the NFL.

The white nylon mesh jersey has cardinal and gold stripedsleeves and White's No. 12 screen-printed front and back in cardinal. with six buttons on the bottom for the crotch flap. Bothsleeves have been custom torn at the underarms; game images of White indicate he preferred his sleeves to be slit-cut. In between the front numbers is a foot-long team repair with a smaller repair below that. There are four more team repairs in the right shoulder/clavicle. Therest of the jersey shows solid wear with a few minor tears in the fabric. The manufacturer's tagging (W.A. Goodman & Sons based on Lot 470) is absent from the shirttail.
