Born 1964. Gerald White is an American american football player.
Gerald Eugene White (born December 9, 1964) He then moved to Titusville High School for his junior and senior years. As a senior in 1982, White was selected as a Parade High School All-American. As a two-way player, he led Titusville to the Florida High School Athletic Association Class AAA football championship. After White dominated the Region 5 playoff game, the Lakeland Ledger wrote:The 6-foot-2, 205-pound White rumbled for 178 yards and two touchdowns as the Terriers blanked Lake Wales 33-0. White did it all. He even punted twice for a 46.5-yard average ... He finished the first half with 138 yards. In the state championship game, Titusville defeated Kissimmee Osceola 33β0 as White rushed 12 times for 139 yards and a touchdown. White later recalled playing football for coach Al Werneke at Titusville: "The closeness and camaraderie are what I remember most about our high school teams. We loved coach Werneke and enjoyed each other, and it was culminated by winning the state championship." He gained 345 yards on 91 carries, including 89 yards in Michigan's 22β14 victory over the Miami Hurricanes in the season opener.
As a junior in 1985, coach Bo Schembechler converted White from a tailback to a fullback. Though White had previously resisted efforts to have him play fullback, White later recalled, "But it was the best thing that ever happened to me, because I learned more about the game." During the 1985 season, White gained 564 rushing yards on 133 carries and 123 receiving yards on 18 catches. He also led the team with 11 total touchdowns (seven rushing and four receiving) on the season. He had his career-best game in Michigan's 27β17 victory over Ohio State, as he rushed for 110 yards on 29 carries and added 23 receiving yards on three catches.
As a senior in 1986, White started 11 of 13 games for the Wolverines at fullback. With the same starting backfield of White, Morris and Harbaugh, the 1986 team finished 11β1 in the regular season and was ranked No. 8 in the AP poll and No. 7 in the UPI poll. The team advanced to the 1987 Rose Bowl, losing to Arizona State by a score of 22β15. White totaled 323 rushing yards (fourth on the team) on 88 carries and 408 receiving yards (third on the team) on 38 catches (led the team). He scored eight touchdowns (tied for the team lead), five rushing and three receiving, during the 1986 season. In the 1987 Rose Bowl, White caught a pass from Mike Gillette in the end zone for a two-point conversion on a fake kick. At the end of the 1986 season, White also played in the 1987 Hula Bowl. He was released on September 1. After the NFLPA strike was declared on the third week of the 1987 season, those contests were canceled (reducing the 16-game season to 15) and the NFL decided that the games would be played with replacement players. He was re-signed to be a part of the Dallas replacement team that was given the mock name "Rhinestone Cowboys" by the media. On being named to the Cowboys' lineup, White called it a "dream". He started all 3 games at fullback, making five receptions for 46 yards. He was waived at the end of the strike on October 26.
In 1988, White was signed by the Cowboys as a free agent. He was cut at the end of training camp on August 29.
