Stinger head coach Mickey Donovan is thrilled to have such a strong academic and talented athlete join the family.
“I’m excited to have Danial coming to Concordia,” he said. “He’s a very bright student with a GPA of 3.6 coming out of high school. He’s definitely coming to Concordia for Engineering and what the program has to offer.
“I think he’s going to be a great leader and take this program in a different direction both on and off the field.”

Carrying the ball, he collected 2220 yards and 38 touchdowns on 315 carries.
White is also an accomplished track athlete and runs a 4.64 40-time.
“Danial wants to play football in a place where there’s a lot of opportunity to throw the ball,” Donavan said. “He’s a guy that’s going to come in and show what he can do right away.”
