Squirrel White ‘fearless’ in Vols’ fall training camp

Wide receiver Squirrel White is fearless in Tennessee’s fall training camp.

Tennessee kicked off fall training camp at Haslam Field Monday.

Following the Vols’ first practice, second-year head coach Josh Heupel discussed freshman Squirrel White, saying the 5-foot-10, 160-pound wide receiver is not slow.

“Squirrel is competitive, really smart and mature in the way that he handles himself in the building, in the meeting room and physically taking care of his body,” Heupel said. “His ability for the game not to be moving too fast, really almost from day one, in the way that he has handled what we do offensively.

“He needs to have a great camp for us and I believe that he will. He is truly fearless. He’s not the biggest guy, but he is fearless. He is going to stick his face in any physical situation that he needs to.”
