Squirrel White committed to the Seminoles, making him the 16th transfer in FSU’s 2025 class, according to On3 Sports.

White has made multiple visits to FSU before deciding to join the Seminoles. The 5-foot-10, 167-pound White played his first three seasons at Tennessee.

He recorded 131 catches for 1,665 receiving yards and six touchdowns in his career with the Vols. His breakout season came in 2023 with 803 receiving yards on 67 catches and two scores.

He made only one catch for 17 yards in the loss to Ohio State in College Football Playoff.

White is the third former Tennessee player to join the Seminoles. Defensive lineman Jayson Jenkins and former Memphis linebacker Elijah Herring played one season together at Tennessee in 2022. Jenkins and Herring signed earlier.
