At 6-foot 2-inches and 220 pounds, Jason White became the fourth Sooner to win the Heisman Trophy following Billy Vessels (1952), Steve Owens (1969), and Billy Sims (1978).
Jason White was the quarterback for the University of Oklahomafootball team during 1999-2004. Suffering from consecutive anterior cruciate ligament tears and reconstructive knee surgeries on both knees during the 2001 and 2002 seasons, he returned to win the Heisman Trophy in 2003 after throwing for 40 touchdown passes (a school record) and only 10 interceptions.
In 2003, Jason was also the recipient of the Associated Press Player of the Year, as well as consensus All-American, and consensus Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. White also won the Davey O'Brien Award and the Jim Thorpe Courage Award during the 2003 season as well.
The NCAA awarded a medical hardship and allowed him to play a second senior year in 2004. Again, White was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy in 2004, trying to become just the second player in history next to Archie Griffin to win the honor twice, but Jason finished third to USCquarterbackMatt Leinart.
White led the Sooners to the national championship game in 2003, but they lost to LSU. With the help of the second place Heisman Trophy finisher Adrian Peterson, White again took the OU Sooners to the national championship game, the Orange Bowl, in 2004 but again they lost this time to the USC Trojans 55-19.
White finished his collegiate career as the University of Oklahoma's all-time leader in career passing yards (7,768) and touchdown passes (79).
He was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2005 by the Tennessee Titans, but decided to quit professional football shortly after the beginning of training camp due to his knee problems. White has expressed a possible interest in coaching sometime in the future.
