#188 - Chris White
White, from Cleveland, TN, came to UT as a QB and switched to safety. After only playing in 2 games in 1981, he was redshirted in ‘82. For the next two seasons, White played sparingly on defense, but was a special teams star, collecting 20 tackles during those seasons. During spring practice before the ‘85 season, White finally got his chance to work with the first team due to an injury to Charles Davis. In the opener vs. UCLA, White made his first career start and a three interceptions and was named SEC co-defensive player of the week. In the Rutgers game, he returned an interception 55 yards for a TD, and was named SEC defensive player of the weeks Ole Miss after picking off two passes and blocking a punt. For good measure, White caped off his All-American season by intercepting Testeverde during the ‘86 Sugar Bowl victory. White lead the nation with 9 interceptions during the ‘85 season and collected 62 tackles. He was chosen captain for the ‘85 season.
