One of the all-time great performers in Minnesota Vikings’ history will be recognized this weekend for what he did on the college gridiron.
Sammy White, who had an outstanding career at Grambling State before moving on to play for the Vikings for a decade, will be one of the newest members of the Black College Football Hall of Fame when its new class is inducted on Saturday in Atlanta.
During his time at Grambling State under the legendary Eddie Robinson, White was a two-time All-Southwestern Athletic Conference selection. As a senior in 1975, he caught just 37 passes.
