White, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, received national attention for his loving ownership of Daisy Mae while at LSU.
"...she fought hard and I wanna thank everybody that was there with us through every step of the way, she was very dehydrated and over heated!!" White said in the post.
According to the Baton Rouge Advocate, White kept Daisy Mae at a stable LSU's campus and rode her down the levee before some practices. The day of a big exam last year, White rode Daisy Mae to class and even stopped inside Tiger Stadium with the horse, riding around on the field. He called the moment “the best thing he’s ever done.”
