Jason White is a former quarterback for the Oklahoma Sooners. Despite an ACL injury to each knee in two separate seasons (2001 and 2002), White led his team to two national championship games (2003 and 2004) and won the Heisman Trophy (2003). His hometown, Tuttle, Oklahoma, has painted the words "Home of Jason White 2003 Heisman Trophy Winner" prominently on the local water tower, as well as renaming a street "Jason White Boulevard".
