Regular visitors of notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. We will eventually extend that to the major universities, and thus it is important to us that the University of West Virginia has announced it will retire the number 5 worn by former Quarterback Pat White.
Known for his exceptional versatility as a dual-threat pivot, White led the Mountaineers to a 35-8 record and four consecutive bowl wins (2006 Sugar, 2007 Gator, 2008 Fiesta, and 2008 Meineke Car Care). Over his four seasons in West Virginia, White threw for 6,048 Yards with a 56-23 TD-INT ratio. White also rushed for a staggering 4,480 Yards and 47 TDs. This combination made White the first player in Big East history to exceed 10,000 Yards in total offense.
White was named the Big East Offensive Player of the Year in 2006 and 2007, and in 2007, was sixth in Heisman Trophy voting.
White joins Major Harris (#9), Ira Rodgers (#21), Chuck Howley (#66), Sam Huff (#75), Bruce Bosley (#77), and Darryl Talley (#90).
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Pat White for his impending honor.
