About: Whit played Linebacker at Georgia Southern University, where he won 3 Southern Conference Championships and 1 National Title. He was also Academic All-Conference his Sophomore year. After college Whit knew he was going to have to find a new release for his competitive nature. After tiring of the weight room a friend suggested road riding and on an impulse he bought a bike the next day. Whit took to it immediately and started racing a few weeks later. In his first year riding Whit lost over 50 pounds of football muscle. In just 3 short years Whit has moved to the elite level. Whit has won races since he started racing and has been on the podium at least 3 times every season. This will be Whit’s first season with Locos. He excels in fast criterium races with his powerful accelerations, bunch sprints and time trails.
