THE HILLTOP FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1998 Section B WHITE TAKES FLIGHT Bison Quarterback Ted White's Got the Whole Team In His Hands

By KIMOTHY K. BROWN Hillrop Srajf Writer

At first brush, Ted White looks like a slightly under­ sized Unebacker. But surprisingly, he's the quarterback of the Howard University foo tball team. After three years on the Bison football team, White bas tossed nearly 60 touchdown passes, and during the team's 1996 championship season, he led the nation in passing efficency. During the three years of playing for Howard, White tossed nearly 60 touchdown passes. During the champi­ onship season in 1996, he Jed the nation in passing effi­ ciency. White's stats are not bis only attribute to the team. He brings leadership, too. ''The other guys look up to me, so I have to set a good example," White said. During football games, one could sense the presence of White's leadership. In his early days as an athlete, White had to decide whether to play football or basketball. "I chose football over basketball because of my size" said the 6-4, 220 pound White. "1 was much bigger than everybody else." Hailing from Glen Oaks High School in Baton Rouge, La., White said his decision to attend Howard over hometown Southern University was a fairly easy one. "I thought that Howard would give me a chance of• going to the pros. I looked at the career of Jay Walker and the success he had,'' White said. Walker is the star quarterback that preceded White: Now, Walker plays for the NFL's Minnesota Vikings. White is ofteo compared to Walker because of the his leadership and strong arm. Hilltop Staff/Edouard Leneus However, there is a key difference between White and Walker's arms. White's passes look as if they were shot Volleyball Team from a cannon or a grenade launcher.
