SD State mourning death of Wisconsin transfer RB Nate White
White spent his first two seasons at Wisconsin but didn't get into a game. In January, he transferred to play for the Jackrabbits with three years of eligibility remaining.
Police in Brookings, S.D., did not confirm a cause of death and said in a press release an active investigation is underway.
"Jackrabbit football is a brotherhood and today we are all hurting with the shocking news of the loss of Nate White," South Dakota State coach Dan Jackson said in a statement. "Nate impacted our program with his hard work, determination and overall positive spirit. We grieve with his family and will honor his memory throughout the upcoming season."
A Milwaukee native, White chose to play for Wisconsin over offers from Vanderbilt, Purdue and Iowa State, among others.
He played quarterback as a high school junior at Rufus King High School in Milwaukee and had 48 rushing touchdowns in his final two seasons as a prep.

Ex-Man Utd wonderkid and Premier League star suing doctor for £7m over ‘unnecessary' op he claims cost him his career
A FORMER Manchester United wonderkid is suing a doctor for £7million over an "unnecessary" operation. Sylvan Ebanks-Blake went under the knife after breaking his leg in 2013. 2 2 The retired striker never fully recovered from the injury as he did not return to top-flight football after the surgery. The 39-year-old believes that his surgeon, Prof James Calder, performed an "unnecessary" and "destructive" operation on his ankle. As a result, Ebanks-Blake says that the procedure caused his top-flight career to end prematurely. His barrister Simeon Maskrey KC told Mrs Justice Lambert at London's High Court: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" It is also part of the footballer's case that he claims he was not asked for proper consent before the operation. However, Prof Calder's lawyers have argued that Ebanks-Blake overestimated his skills. They said he "had an overoptimistic view of his own powers of recovery". Barrister Martin Forde KC added: "Far from curtailing the claimant's career, the defendant will argue that his clinical skills prolonged the career of a professional footballer, who had suffered a very serious injury." Ebanks-Blake was a promising forward in his youth days as he represented England at the Under-21 level. He also played youth football for Manchester United before leaving the club in 2006 for Plymouth Argyle. Where are they now: The unusual careers of former footballers The striker spent two years there before joining Wolves and established himself at the club. He scored 62 goals in 193 appearances for the club, including ten in the Premier League. Ebanks-Blake helped the club reach the top-flight in 2009 and was part of the iconic strike partnership alongside Irishman Kevin Doyle. He spent five years at the Molineux before the broken fibula injury struck. Ebanks-Blake left the club at the end of that season and bounced around clubs until he retired in 2019 at Walsall Wood following another leg fracture.
