LenDale White reveals $150K cash surprise in USC apartment

The 37-year-old former All-American was a guest on Barstool Sport’s “Bussin’ With The Boys” podcast, hosted by former NFL player Will Compton and current Titans offensive tackle Taylor Lewan. During the interview, White was asked what sort of benefits he received while at USC, where he shared backfield duties with Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush, who was infamously stripped of the award after an investigation revealed that Bush had received improper benefits during his time there.

“Are we talking about coaches? We talking about boosters? What?” Compton asked.

White then shed light on what would happen when he’d get a new apartment.

“I don’t really know what a coach or a booster is,” White said. “All I know is I had a nice house or apartment, and when I went in there, I know that there was somebody left something behind. I don’t know if it was for me or not, but I never told anybody they left it there, and I kept it.”

Asked what the most amount of money he’d seen left somewhere, White said, “About $150,000. This is all just cash, rubber bands.”

White also said he drove a Lexus GS400 while at the school.

After three seasons at USC and leading the nation with 24 rushing touchdowns in 2005, White turned pro and was drafted in the second round by the Tennessee Titans. But his success in college didn’t translate in the NFL.

White topped the 1,000-yard mark just once in four years in Tennessee and twice failed to reach 250 yards rushing in a season. He also battled weight and knee issues.
