Jason White is a former American football quarterback who gained national recognition for his outstanding college career at the University of Oklahoma. White played for the Sooners from 1999 to 2004, overcoming multiple injuries to become one of the most decorated players in college football history. Despite suffering two ACL injuries that threatened his career, White's resilience and determination allowed him to return to the field and lead Oklahoma to two BCS National Championship appearances. His leadership and skill as a passer made him a standout in the highly competitive Big 12 Conference.

In 2003, White had a breakout season, throwing for 3,846 yards and 40 touchdowns, which earned him the prestigious Heisman Trophy, awarded to the best player in college football. He became the fourth player in Oklahoma history to win the Heisman, solidifying his place among the school's all-time greats. White also won the Davey O'Brien Award, given to the nation's top quarterback, and was a consensus All-American. His ability to read defenses and make accurate throws under pressure made him a key figure in Oklahoma's high-powered offense during his tenure.

White's college career was marked by numerous accolades, including being a two-time finalist for the Heisman Trophy, as he finished third in the voting in 2004. He also led the Sooners to a 12-0 regular season record in 2004, earning a spot in the BCS National Championship Game. Despite not winning a national title, White's legacy at Oklahoma remains strong, as he finished his career with over 7,900 passing yards and 81 touchdowns. His perseverance through injuries and his ability to perform at an elite level made him a fan favorite and a respected figure in college football.

After his college career, White went undrafted in the NFL, largely due to concerns about his knee injuries. However, he continued to be involved in football and business, eventually opening a successful auto dealership in Oklahoma. White's story is one of resilience, overcoming adversity, and achieving greatness despite the odds. His impact on Oklahoma football and his inspirational journey continue to resonate with fans and aspiring athletes alike.
