Georgia Bulldogs sophomore wide receiver Sacovie White caught fans' attention at G-Day on Saturday when he hauled in two impressive catches. 

The one catch that really "wowed" the crowed happened when White caught a pass from quarterback Gunner Stockton mid-air while being defended by cornerback Ellis Robinson.

White's other catch came was an endzone touchdown, versus Robinson again. 

White and the red team won Saturday's scrimmage, 34-17. 

Following the game, head coach Kirby Smart told reporters he was excited to see the overall growth from the wide receiver room, though there is still work to be done.  

"Excited to see some more growth, excited to see some more toughness," he said. "Excited to see what they can do in the fall. The biggest thing is keeping them healthy. I don't know what the number is, but I would bet there's six or seven of them that are in their first time playing this offense, and that takes a little time. So I thought the six or seven new guys got better as the spring went on, and they got a chance to get 20-something more practices to grow even more. We're not where we need to be at wide out, but we have a good group to work with." 

White didn't see much action in 2024, recording four receptions for 38 yards while averaging 9.5 yards per catch.

That is expected to change this upcoming fall.
