Nearly 30 years after leading Howard University to a 1996 national championship as quarterback, Head Football Coach Ted White is back on the sidelines at Greene Stadium for his first Homecoming leading the Bison.
His journey to D.C. started back in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where eCuir recognized White's talent and helped convince him to make Howard home. That connection created a lifelong brotherhood and paved the way for unforgettable Bison history, including their legendary 1996 Heritage Bowl victory. The celebration came full circle during Homecoming as Coach White guided the Bison against Morehouse, while DeCuir officially took his place among the greats with his induction into the Howard University Athletics Hall of Fame.

A Bison Love Story. 💙❤️
He was a football player. She was a cheerleader. They met at Howard, and 33 years of marriage later, their love story is still going strong.
