On Friday night, LSU linebacker Michael Divinity opened his phone to find a text message from his former teammate, All-American linebacker Devin White.

It was the night before LSU’s spring game and Divinity, was lining up in a new spot on the field at inside linebacker — a position White knows well.

“He texted me out of the blue, ‘How you doing? How you feeling?’ We had a long conversation,” Divinity said. “He’s been very helpful in this process.”
