James White Earns College Degree From The University of Wisconsin, Fulfills Promise To His Parents

Over his seven year NFL career, New England Patriots running back James White has become both a Super Bowl champion and team captain, but now he can add college graduate to his list of life accomplishments.

This past weekend, White officially graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a degree in life sciences communication.

“My parents always stressed how important it was for me to get my degree,” White told UWBadgers.com. “Every offseason, they would get on me and ask, am I taking classes? They kept me motivated. My wife, Diana, kept me motivated as well to finish up … It was always at the forefront of my mind.
