MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia Sports Communications Office is launching the official Pat White Web Site, “patwhiteplayshere.com” on Friday, June 27.

“patwhiteplayshere.com” is an inclusive Web site that gives fans, alumni, media and Heisman voters all the up-to-date information about the two-time BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year, two-time bowl MVP and two-time team MVP.

The site offers the entire playing history of White, in video, pictures and biography. There are videos from his early days of pee-wee football, to Daphne High School to the past three years as a Mountaineer. There are quotes from a who’s-who of national media about White’s leadership and ability on the field.

The site also has his iPod playlist, things you need to know about him, wallpaper that can be downloaded and a schedule when White can be seen on television this season. There is also the ability for fans to ask him questions during the season.

The WVU Sports Communication staff handled the site concept, while BlaineTurner Advertising, Inc., in Morgantown developed its design and production.

White has led the Mountaineers to three straight 11-win seasons, two BIG EAST Conference titles, three straight New Year’s bowl game victories and three straight Associated Press Top-10 finishes.

Last year, White rushed for 1,335 yards and 14 touchdowns and completed 67 percent of his passes for 1,724 yards and 14 touchdowns. He led the Mountaineers to an 11-2 record, the BIG EAST Championship and a 48-28 victory over No. 3 Oklahoma in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. He was named the BIG EAST Conference Offensive Player of the Year for the second-straight year, was named the bowl’s offensive MVP for the second-straight year and finished sixth in the Heisman Trophy voting for national player of the year.

For his career, the 2008 preseason All-American and one of the leading candidates for the Heisman Trophy has rushed for 3,506 yards and 39 touchdowns, and completed 64 percent of his passes for 4,207 yards and 35 touchdowns. Already the career BIG EAST leader, he needs 784 more yards to become the all-time rushing quarterback in NCAA Division I-A history. He lacks 115 yards to become WVU’s all-time leader in total offense.

The Mountaineers open their season on August 30 against Villanova at Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium. Print View   Email
