Squirrel White could’ve been slowed by previous injuries, but Florida State coach Mike Norvell likes where his receiver is following their latest scrimmage. White is playing with a lot of confidence a few weeks ahead of the season.
White spent the last three years at Tennessee before transferring to Florida State. White and the Seminoles are certainly looking for bounce back campaigns in 2025.
As far as how he is performing for Florida State, Norvell has been satisfied as of late. It remains to be seen how that translates to the regular season, but there’s been good signs for White.
“Yeah, you can see the confidence he’s playing with. I don’t think anything’s holding him back from the previous injury,” Norvell said. “He’s definitely playing fast and put that on display tonight. I like his attitude and mindset. He’s making plays when he gets his opportunities.”
Last season, White caught only 34 passes for 381 yards, two touchdowns and 11.2 yards per catch. He has six touchdowns in his career (two each season), but had career highs in 2023. White had 67 catches for 803 yards, two touchdowns and 12 yards per catch two seasons ago.
As a member of the Class of 2022, White was a four-star recruit out of Pinson (Ala.) Clay-Chalkville, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking. He was the No. 15 overall prospect in the state, the No. 63 wide receiver in the class and the No. 371 overall prospect in the class.
Squirrel White could return to form for Florida State
Norvell praised White’s performance during the scrimmage. If he’s anything like his 2023 version, White could certainly elevate the Seminoles’ offense.
“(QB Tommy Castellanos) did great things with his arm, pushing the ball down the field,” Norvell said. “Squirrel White had a couple of really big plays, including a long touchdown where he showcased his speed and got a great ball from Tommy. Another guy who stood out was Micahi Danzy, who had a couple of nice plays.
“He showed some looseness, especially on a short pass, and had a solid run. He did some good things with those opportunities. Amari Williams had a couple of nice plays, and I’m excited about his growth and what he’s doing.”
White and Florida State have a massive opener in 2025. As camp rolls on, preparation continues for a home game against Alabama on August 30th.
