2019 Regular Session ENROLLED
SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 118
BY SENATORS GATTI AND LUNEAU
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 Tigers, Devin White stands out as a legendary athlete; 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, the six-foot-one, two hundred forty pound, twenty-one-year-old
Springhill native was the top inside linebacker selected in the 2019 National Football League
(NFL) Draft, the fifth overall pick of the draft, and LSU's loss is Tampa Bay's gain, as he
will forego his senior year and join the Buccaneers as their first-round selection; 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, it is appropriate that the Senate recognize 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 Senate 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 career.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be transmitted to
Devin White.
PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE
