Former Badgers running back dies at 20
'According to the Brookings Police Department, first responders were called to a home in the 1000 block of Seventh Avenue South shortly before 7 a.m. Wednesday, June 25, when a roommate reported that White was not breathing and was unresponsive in his bed,' InForum's Matt Zimmer reported.

'Efforts by Brookings Ambulance and police units to resuscitate White were unsuccessful, and he was pronounced dead by the Brookings County coroner, who ordered that his body be moved to Sanford Hospital in Sioux Falls for an autopsy to be conducted.
'A cause of death has not yet been released, and police say an investigation remains ongoing.'
White, 20, had transferred to South Dakota State earlier this offseason after spending two seasons with the Badgers.
A Milwaukee native, White had committed to Wisconsin as a three-star recruit in the Class of 2023. He started his career at running back before moving to wide receiver last season. Moving back to running back at South Dakota State, White was reportedly the favorite to be the Jackrabbits' starting tailback in 2025.

South Dakota State released a statement in the aftermath, mourning the loss of White.
'Jackrabbit football is a brotherhood and today we are all hurting with the shocking news of the loss of Nate White,' head coach Dan Jackson shared in a statement. 'Nate impacted our program with his hard work, determination and overall positive spirit. We grieve with his family and will honor his memory throughout the upcoming season.'
According to InForum, the Jackrabbit Former Players Association raised roughly $17,000 to go toward the White family's expenses. Additionally, on July 1, Pints and Quarts will hold its own fundraiser, donating a portion of all sales to the family.

Liverpool fans get Marc Guehi insight from unlikely source - 'Hang on a minute'
Former Everton boss Sean Dyche has hinted that Crystal Palace may have backtracked on a gentleman's agreement to let Marc Guehi depart following Liverpool's interest. The Reds initiated discussions with Palace last week regarding a potential move for Guehi, who has just 12 months remaining on his Selhurst Park deal. Nevertheless, no fee has been agreed for the center-back, with a significant gap reportedly existing between Liverpool's valuation and Palace's demands. Rumors intensified over the weekend when reports emerged that Guehi had blanked Palace manager Oliver Glasner on the pitch after the team's scoreless Premier League stalemate with Chelsea. Dyche, who has previously managed Watford and Burnley, suspects there may be tensions between Palace and Guehi. READ MORE: Alexander Isak finally breaks silence on Newcastle fallout as Liverpool transfer hangs in the balance READ MORE: Alexander Isak could use little-known FIFA rule to force Newcastle transfer exit "When you make a lot of signings, you do the agreement for their contract, but we'll sort out a gentleman's agreement where we say we'll honor the player with an agreement off the record," he said. "Now you never know whether that's been said there. "With Guehi, and I imagine this is what's happened, probably a year ago, they said, 'Look, we get it, you're going to stick with us.' "And last summer, he stuck with it. "Again at Christmas, he stuck with it. "They might have said, 'By next summer, we'll know what's going to happen.'" Dyche, in a chat on the Footy Accumulators No Tippy Tappy Football podcast in partnership with BOYLE Sports, added: "And if he's a good professional, which he seems fantastic to me, he doesn't want to go out there and start saying all that. "But at one point, he might have to go, 'Hang on a minute, they told me that if we do this, this, and this, then they'll let me have my chance.' "I've done it, and most managers have done it. "You say to the agent, 'We both know if they do that, we'll get them.' "Because there has to be some kind of negotiation, especially when I was at Burnley, because they're not a giant in football, so if a player does well, we couldn't just keep them there."
