Wide Receivers Coach
James “Bo” White is also back for his second year as an assistant coach. White works with wide receivers while serving as the pass game coordinator. “Bo White brings college coaching experience from the offensive and defensive side of the football as well as valuable recruiting experience at the college level,” said Veidt. “He has coached in two major bowl game victories- the Sugar and Gator Bowls. He brings a great deal of energy and enthusiasm to Bluffton University, the football program and the entire community.”
White, originally from Daphne, Ala., comes to Bluffton from Glenville State College in Glenville, W.Va., where he served as the defensive backs coach. Prior to that, he was a graduate assistant at West Virginia University (WVU) under former head coach, and current University of Michigan coach, Rich Rodriguez. White worked on the offensive side of the ball with the receivers and running backs and was part of the coaching squad for the 2005 Big East Conference Champion, the 2006 Nokia Sugar Bowl Champion and the 2007 Gator Bowl Champion teams.
White received his bachelor’s degree in business management from West Liberty State College (2004) in West Liberty, W.Va., where he was a four-year letter winner as a running back and a receiver. At WVU, he obtained his masters in athletic coaching education. White makes his home in the Bluffton area.
