Alfred State football coach Mick Caba is excited to see another player have the chance to play at a higher level. ”It has been a pleasure to coach Pat White and see him develop into an NCAA Division I wide receiver. I am excited that Pat has signed to play at Youngstown State University, just minutes from his home. With the size, speed and talent Pat has and the opportunity to play for Coach Wolford in the YSU offensive system I could see the NFL on Pat’s horizon.”
White is the second Pioneer Coach Caba has sent to Youngstown. In 2005 the Penguins signed Codera Jackson ‘05. Codera, a NJCAA All American while at Alfred State became a two-time NCAA All American for the Penguins in 2005 and 2006.
