The Hilltoppers’ new defensive coordinator spent the last four seasons coordinating special teams and coaching safeties at his alma mater, North Carolina State.
White, a North Carolina native, lived in between Raleigh, where he coached at N.C. State, and Durham, where his wife Kelly was a physical therapist for sports teams at Duke.
White was happy living in a place he knew and coaching at a school where he was a standout linebacker from 1998-2000.
But then new WKU coach Mike Sanford called and offered White the chance to be a D-coordinator for the first time in his career.
