New Cowboys QB Mike White (Western Kentucky): "Waking up today I was hoping so because it's the Dallas Cowboys. Who in the heck wouldn't want to play for the Dallas Cowboys."

White became the highest draft pick at the quarterback position in Western Kentucky history. He also became the first Hiltopper to be drafted by the Dallas Cowboys.

Western Kentucky linebacker, Joel Iyieguiwe, was drafted 115th to the Chicago Bears.
Congrats, Mike and Joel!
