He caught a pass from Sam Darnold at about the 40, shook off one tackle and stayed in bounds along the sideline before reaching the end zone.

White, a former Walled Lake Western graduate, was a standout over three seasons with the Spartans. He posted 143 receptions for 1,967 yards and 12 touchdowns from 2017-19.
