Marshall Reginald White (April 1, 1953 – July 13, 2016) was an American former professional football running back who played in the National Football League (NFL) with the New York Giants and Detroit Lions. He played college football for the Arkansas Razorbacks.
White was born on April 1, 1953, in Bonham, Texas. He attended Bonham High School and played football, earning all-district honors his junior and senior year.
White played college football for the Arkansas Razorbacks from 1971 to 1974. In 1971 he played on the freshman team before he became a three-year letterman from 1972 to 1974. White played in 33 games and rushed for 694 yards and three touchdowns. In addition he had one catch for six yards his senior season. In 1972, White's dorm room was destroyed in a fire during finals week.
White was selected in the tenth round, with the 268th overall selection, by the New York Giants in the 1975 NFL draft. He played 28 games, starting one, recording 313 rushing yards, two touchdowns and five receptions for 22 yards. On September 8, 1977, White was placed on the injured reserve.
On August 1, 1978, White was traded to the Detroit Lions, along with defensive tackle, Dave Gallagher, for two undisclosed draft picks in the 1979 NFL draft. The trade was eventually nullified after he injured his knee during the physical.
