Former USC star Charles White -- the 1979 Heisman Trophy winner -- died on Wednesday, the Trojans announced.
"He will always be remembered by the Trojan Family for the history he made on the football field and the legacy he left at Troy," Bohn said.
White got to SC's campus in 1976 -- and went on to have one of the most legendary college football careers ever. He totaled 6,245 rushing yards -- still a school record -- and earned unanimous selections to two All-American teams.In addition to the '79 Heisman Trophy, White also won the Walter Camp and Maxwell awards that same season.
White, who also helped USC win a national title and three Rose Bowls, went on to be picked by the Cleveland Browns in the first round of the 1980 NFL Draft. He spent five seasons with the team, before finishing his pro career with the Rams.
