Brian Dohn recently reported that former Bruin linebacker, Tony White, has been added to the staff as a graduate assistant. He will be working in football operations. I'm not exactly sure what his duties will entail, but it is always fun to see a former player back in the program.White played for the Bruins from 1997 to 2000. He bumped around between middle and outside linebacker and even played a little special teams. He started his final 3 seasons and was a key leader of the defense during his time in Westwood. Tony played on the last Bruin squad to make a Rose Bowl back in 1998.
Tony went to the Canadian Football League after he graduated from UCLA. He played for both the Calgary Stampede and the Ottawa Renegades during a 4-year tenure in the CFL. After being released in 2005, He spent a little bit of time teaching and coaching at St. Genevieve High in Panorama City, California. In 2006, Tony was signed as a free agent with the Kansas City Brigade of the Area Football League. He never played in the AFL and was placed on the refused to report list earlier this year.
Welcome back Tony!
