Marquarius Malik "Squirrel" White (born May 5, 2004) is an American football wide receiver for the Tennessee Volunteers.
White's great-grandmother nicknamed him "Squirrel" as an infant because he imitated the movement of a squirrel in her garden. According to White, "[w]hen she was holding me, there was a squirrel in her garden. It picked her tomato. And when the squirrel moved, I moved at the same time. So she started calling me [Squirrel]."[1]
He attended Clay-Chalkville High School in Clay, Alabama. As a senior, he had 49 receptions for 1,162 yards and 16 touchdowns.[2] White committed to the University of Tennessee to play college football.[3] [4] White also ran track in high school.[5]
As a true freshman at Tennessee, White played in 12 games and had 30 receptions for 481 yards with two touchdowns.[6]
