PLAYER SPOTLIGHTReggie White
Defensive Tackle (1980-83)
White, who died Dec. 26, 2004, at the age of 43, collected a school-record 32 sacks in his four years with the Vols to establish himself as the most prolific pass rusher in Tennessee history. Fifteen of those sacks came in his senior year of 1983, a campaign former Vols head coach Phillip Fulmer called the "most individually dominant season I've ever seen." Known as the "Minister of Defense," White went on to a 17-year pro football career, retiring as the NFL's all-time sack leader with 198. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2002. He graduated from Tennessee in 1990 and his number was retired by the Vols on Oct. 1, 2005.
