Don’t do this often because I keep most thing close to the chest but wanted to brag on our guys a little. Many have reached out over the last few weeks with simple messages filled with thanks and gratefulness for opportunities that they had. No anger, no bitterness, no “why me”

Going to miss Coach White. Met him my first time on Post as a recruit. A regular at the field during practice and games and stayed in touch well after graduation. Sometimes to say hi and sometimes to talk about a player he had seen. Will miss those phone calls. Rest easy Coach!
There will never be another Donny White VMI Class of 1965 🔴🟡⚫️ Standout cadet-athlete, decorated veteran, inspiring football and baseball coach, dedicated Athletic Director...The Institute will miss you.
