White made his pledge known back in February, shortly after 2008's Signing Day. He won't sign until 2010.

"They pulled me in as a sophomore and said they wanted to offer me at whatever position I wanted to play," White said of Oregon's staff. It was a no-brainer for White, who was turned onto the program long before his football career took off. It happened when the Ducks took a liking to his younger brother Tyson, who was battling leukemia. They took him in and brought him to their practices, where he got to meet players from both the football and basketball teams. It clearly struck a major chord with Tyson's big brother. Tyson will have been gone four years this coming November, but his memory lives on in Curtis.

"I got to know (Oregon) coach (Mike) Bellotti at a young age," White added. "I just saw everything they did for all the kids, including my family - and I liked it."

And he's not shy about putting his recruiting pitch on Dunn. "I'm trying to get him to come down here, but he's pretty committed," White said with a chuckle.
