WHITE NAMED RAISING CANE’S OUTSTANDING REBEL OF THE WEEK
The Rebel junior had eight receptions for 174 yards and two touchdowns in Battle for the Fremont Cannon win over UNR
UNLV junior wide receiver Ricky White has been named the Raising Cane’s Outstanding Rebel of the Week, the school announced Wednesday.
The award goes to the student-athlete who turned in the best individual performance during the previous week of competition from Monday through Sunday as voted on by the UNLV Athletics Strategic Communications department.
A Marietta, Georgia native, White helped guide the Rebels to a 45-27 win over in-state rival UNR. In the first half alone, he had six receptions for 161 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He posted his second 100-yard game of the season, third as a Rebel and fourth in his FBS career with 174 yards against the Wolf Pack.
White caught a pass in every one of his eight targets on the day and five of those catches went for first downs vs. the Wolf Pack. With UNLV leading 21-7 in the second quarter, he also hauled in an 82-yard score from redshirt freshman Jayden Maiava that tied for the fourth-longest pass play in school history.
