One of the best quarterbacks in HBCU history could return as Howard’s football coach.
Ted White, who still holds most of the former MEAC records, was offered the Bison head coaching job Friday afternoon by interim president Wayne Frederick.
White will replace Larry Scott who resigned last month to take the tight ends coach position at Auburn.
White, 49, passed for 9,808 yards and 92 touchdowns as the Bison’s signal caller and won the 1996 MEAC Offensive Player of the Year Award.
After a professional career in NFL Europe and the CFL, White turned to coaching, where he served in various positions at HBCUs such as Texas Southern, Southern, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Prairie View A&M and Howard, and as offensive coordinator and assistant head coach under Gary “Flea” Harrell and Rayford Petty.
White is currently an offensive analyst at Maryland and was the quarterbacks coach at UCLA in 2024.
