BY REPRESENTATIVE MCMAHEN
A RESOLUTION
To commend Devin White for his many athletic accomplishments.
WHEREAS, among the remarkable group of past and present Louisiana State
University (LSU) football players, Devin White stands out as a legendary athlete; and
WHEREAS, the six-foot-one, two hundred forty pound, twenty-one-year-old
Springhill native was the top inside linebacker in the 2019 National Football League (NFL)
Draft; he was the fifth overall pick of the draft; LSU's loss is Tampa Bay's gain, as he will
forego his senior year and join the Buccaneers as their first-round pick; and
WHEREAS, he established himself as one of the greatest linebackers in LSU history;
as a junior in 2018, he led the Southeastern Conference (SEC) in total tackles with one
hundred twenty-three after leading the conference with 10.2 tackles per game as a
sophomore in 2017; he was the first player in SEC history to be named defensive player of
the week four times in one season; and
WHEREAS, a lover of horses, Devin has three; as a student, he kept his horse, Daisy
Mae, just a couple miles off LSU's campus and has ridden her around Death Valley; and
WHEREAS, the House of Representatives wishes to recognize the legendary Devin
White for his extraordinary athleticism and for his well-deserved draft into the NFL, for he
will remain a true Louisiana football legend.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the House of Representatives of the
Legislature of Louisiana does hereby commend Devin White for his many athletic
accomplishments; does hereby commend him on being a first-round draft pick for the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers; and does hereby wish him many years of happiness and success in his
