Jax State's Loring And Debbie White

As Loring White watched the bus pull away with his football teammates, heading to the Gamecocks’ first away game of his freshman year back in the fall of 1974, he vowed he would never get left behind again.

After talking to a few friends and coaches – who explained there simply weren’t enough seats for everyone – he realized he was going to have to become one of the team’s most versatile players if he wanted to guarantee himself a spot on the bus and on the field. So, he learned to play nearly every offensive position, making himself indispensable.

That tenacity, first demonstrated on the football field, would propel White through college and on to a highly successful business career. “I decided if I spent as much time working as I had practicing football, I could be successful,” he said. “I just outworked my competitors.”

Whether he’s speaking with JSU students or his own employees, White stresses that the key to success can be narrowed down to eight simple words: “work hard, stick to it, use common sense.”
