Draft Profile: Bio
Squirrel White from Clay-Chalkville High School was rated a 3-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 3-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, White opted to join Tennessee.

In 2022 as a freshman White saw action in 9 games for the Volunteers as he made 20 receptions for 367 yards for an average of 18.4 yards per reception, with one TD, and an elite QB rating when targeted of 119.7.

As a sophomore in 2023 he played 13 games and had 67 catches for 803 yards for an average of 12.0 yards per catch, with 2 TDs, and QB rating when targeted of 97.7.

Squirrel isn’t his given name. It’s Marquarius, but his great-grandmother called him “Squirrel” as a todler after he moved simultaneously with a squirrel in her garden.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Super athletic - Made Bruce Feldman's 2023 Freak's List at #64. He Wrote: "White has been clocked at 23.4 miles per hour velocity on the Catapult system and also has vertical-jumped 40.6 inches. When Hyatt opted out of the Orange Bowl, White had a season-high nine catches for 108 yards and one touchdown in the win over Clemson."
  • Combines speed, balance, quickness, vision and crisp cuts to leave defensive backs and linebackers in the dust.
  • An elusive and creative runner in space, White has the lateral agility and stop-start ability to make tacklers swing and miss. White shows good hands and coordination as an underneath catch-and-run target.
  • Against defensive backs who are brave enough to play press, his initial quickness should allow him to escape the jam.
  • Has a knack for getting open and is a quarterback's best friend - passers just need to toss the ball in his area and he'll come down with it.
  • His competitiveness and knack for high-pointing the ball allow him to play bigger than his size.
  • White tracks the ball well downfield and consistently runs under long throws.
  • He’s at his best working in space, showing the quickness and vision of a return specialist. His stop-start ability allows him to create initial separation.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Because of that small frame, White won’t be for everyone; many teams still want their No. 1 receiver to be 6'2" or taller.
  • White isn’t going to overwhelm opposing defensive backs with speed and athleticism.
  • White doesn’t have the ability as a run blocker or the violent run-after-catch ability.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
