GopherHole was contacted by a friend of Damien's, who asked us to provide a bit of background on the former Gopher. All of our thoughts and prayers are with Damien's friends and family. Here is the message:
"Damien White was shot and killed Sunday morning at a gas station. What people don't know about Damien is that after leaving the University of Minnesota, with very few options, Damien enrolled in a local Juco and had been taking classes. While Damien dreamed of playing professional football, he also wanted to coach high school football. For those of us who knew him, we will remember his laugh, his smile, and his nonstop talking. RIP Damien Cordell White"
