True confession time: Men's Fitness isn't exactly my choice of reading material. Still, I'd heard former Dartmouth corner back/returner Brian White '95 was featured in the April edition of the magazine and so I checked it out yesterday (without buying it, thank you) at the Dartmouth Bookstore. Sure enough, Brian is briefly profiled in a story entitled, "5 Star; Life Lessons From Five Rising Stars Who'll Soon Be Lighting Up The Screen At A Cineplex Near You."
Brian is pictured in the contents area of the magazine with a hooded sweat shirt over his head with the headline: Coolest Cat in the Hood.
Now an actor/model/dancer, Brian, 33, can be seen in current films Dirty and Brick. He previously co-starred with Bernie Mac in the baseball flick, Mr. 3000. He appeared in the movie The Family Stone and on FX TV's The Shield.
The son of former Boston Celtics great Jo Jo White, Brian plays hoops in the NBA Entertainment League along with stars like Snoop Dogg and Jamie Fox.
At Dartmouth, Brian made the 1994 All-Ivy first team as a senior with 74 tackles and four interceptions. He tied a school record with a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against Harvard. He also played lacrosse for the Big Green.
After graduation, White went to camp with the New England Patriots and also signed a major league lacrosse contract. To learn more about Brian, visit his web site.
By the way, driving my kids to school this morning, we passed a couple of their in-town friends riding bicycles to school. In shorts. And I saw the father of one of their friends driving his red Saab with the top down. Sure, the temperature might hit the high 50's today. But IT WAS 29 DEGREES when we left the house. Ah, spring in Northern New England!
