Georgia WR Sacovie White wants to make impact in multiple areas
Georgia wide receiver Sacovie White has done a little bit of everything on a football field. In high school, he rarely came off the field.
As his second spring set of practices at Georgia comes to a close White is working toward a bigger role in 2025. Things have become a little more crowded at the slot position in Athens.
Georgia added USC transfer Zachariah Branch this offseason. Branch has also been working in the slot in Athens this spring. White and Branch have connected. They’ve competed but also see that there is an opportunity to form a productive platoon.
“Zach is a great guy,” White told reporters on Tuesday. “He’s added something different to our team with speed and the twitchiness that he has. I feel like he’s a great piece we added. At the end of the day, you have to compete. If we’re both doing our job, we’ll find a way to both get on the field. If we’re both on the field at the same time, good luck for the defense.”
Georgia rotates a ton in the wide receiver room. White feels he can earn a role in a few different ways. He’s willing to do whatever is asked of him.
“I’m willing to play wherever they put me,” White said. “It’s all about playing for the team and doing whatever it takes to play for the team.”
Georgia wide receiver coach James Coley has emphasized being ready to do multiple things in the wide receiver room. While White has worked in the slot a ton he’s aware of what the other wide receiver positions have to do.
“Coach Coley tells us if we want to play in the NFL, you have to know all positions,” White said. “Everybody plays every position. I play X, N, Z, N and F. Not realistically, but I have to be ready just in case they call a fastball. I have to be ready to go in whatever position I’m in. But all the guys play the same positions, and we all know what we’re supposed to be doing.”

Sacovie White looking forward to his second G-Day
White made an impact in the G-Day scrimmage in 2024. He caught two passes, one for a 26-yard touchdown.
He’s looking to make another splash on Saturday for himself but also be a voice of reason for the young group of players experiencing a packed Sanford Stadium for the first time.
“I just want to get better,” White said. “I just want to progress through every practice, because it’s a chance for me to get better. For me, I want to coach the younger guys, because I was once a young guy and didn’t know what to do. I was just out there running, just playing, because this is G-Day. You’ve never seen anything like that before. Coming out of that tunnel with all those fans out there, you just get starstruck. I just want to let the younger kids know that, ‘Hey, you’re going to be all right’. You’ve been making plays in practice. You’ve been making plays in the scrimmages, just keep doing the same thing. We just got fans here to celebrate you. I just want to be a leader and do whatever I can to help the team.”
White feels G-Day will only be a peek into what Georgia’s offense will be once the fall rolls around. There isn’t any looking back to the ups and downs of the 2024 campaign.
“This offense can go wherever we want it to go,” White said. “We’re a player-led team, and I think that takes us a long way. This offense is just looking forward. We’re not looking behind us. Everything that happened in the past, is in the past. We’re moving forward.”
