Sophomore wide receiver Squirrel White led Tennessee in receptions (nine) and receiving yards (104) versus South Carolina on Saturday.
The 5-foot-10, 165-pound White has totaled 26 receptions and 276 receiving yards in five games during the 2023 season.
Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel discussed White after the Vols’, 41-20, win against South Carolina.
“He’s a young player, relatively speaking, that just continues to get better and that’s extremely confident and comfortable out there,” Heupel said. “He operates extremely efficiently. Joe Milton III has great confidence in him. He made a big time competitive play on the deep ball early in the first quarter. He gets us going. He just did an unbelievable job. A lot of the night was one-on-one. I told our skill players earlier that it was the line of scrimmage, to own it, and then out on the perimeter was going to be a one-on-one game. You’ve got to be efficient, throwing it, catching it and winning it in those matchups. Squirrel, obviously, nine targets and nine catches, that’s a night by him.”
