Welcome back to ouTTakes, a podcast that’s here to discuss Maryland sports from an insider’s perspective. Our goal of the podcast is to shine a different light on Terps sport figures and allow you to get to know them as people.
This episode features hosts Lauren Rosh and Dylan Spilko with special guest defensive tackle Randy White, who played for Maryland from 1971-74 before the Dallas Cowboys drafted him second overall in the 1975 NFL Draft. With Dallas, White went on to be a nine-time Pro Bowl selection, Super Bowl co-MVP and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1994. He is now working on a partnership with Ford Proud to Honor Hall of Heroes.
