Former Florida State Seminoles wide receiver Squirrel White is moving on from football. The Chicago Bears placed White on the reserve/retired list on May 11 after he signed with them as an undrafted free agent following the 2026 NFL Draft.

He played in 10 games for FSU in 2025, catching five passes for 52 yards and also helping as a punt returner. His special teams abilities were likely his path to making the Bears roster prior to his retirement. He was named to the All-ACC Academic Team.
