A Tennessee Vols sophomore landed on a fun list from Sports Illustrated this week.
Vols sophomore wide receiver Squirrel White was named by Sports Illustrated as one of the 25 most intriguing non-quarterbacks in 2023.
From SI.com: As a freshman, the evocatively nicknamed White forced his way into a deep and talented receiver rotation, making an immediate impact. He finished the year with 30 catches for 481 yards and two touchdowns and now steps into a larger role as a sophomore. Commensurate with that status, White has an NIL deal with Weigel’s grocery stores: “Squirrel Team Six,” in which the chain will give away a six-pack of Coca-Cola for every game in which Squirrel scores a touchdown. Let the rodent run, let the rodent score, let Volunteers fans enjoy free Coke all fall.
White is poised for a breakout season in 2023. The speedy wide receiver will help take over part of the deep-threat role that Jalin Hyatt played for the Vols last season (Oregon transfer wide receiver Dont'e Thornton will also play a role). That means that Tennessee fans should see plenty of long touchdown receptions from White this fall, which will lead to some free Coca-Cola for Vols fans thanks to Squirrel's NIL deal with Weigels.
