The Rochester, New York native and former Aquinas Institute star started his career at Monmouth where, in two seasons, he appeared in 44 games and averaged 2.5 points per game. White transferred to Syracuse for his junior season and he played seven minutes across four games and scored three points. Pace finished 9-19 in Division II last season.
White’s transfer is not a surprise because, per Syracuse.com, White chose not play in any games in order to preserve his final year of eligibility for graduate school.
The walk-on had an eventful last year with the Orange while the team made an unlikely run to the Final Four. White also took a tumble while celebrating with the team’s leading scorer, Michael Gbinije, during the Gonzaga game which helped key the Orange’s run.
