Former Michigan State wide receiver Ricky White is getting his second chance at the collegiate level after a solid start with the UNLV Rebels.

On Saturday, UNLV hosted the Idaho State Bengals and took care of business, winning 52-21. White had a huge game for UNLV as he led the team in all major receiving categories as he caught 8 receptions for 182 yards and 2 touchdowns.

White chose to transfer after not finding the field in the 2021 college football season. In the 2020 season, White caught 10 receptions for 233 yard and a touchdown in 3 games.

White arrived at Michigan State as a four-star prospect in the 2020 recruiting class where he was rated as the 70th best wide receiver, according to 247Sports Composite.

UNLV will be have a bye-week in Week 1 before they go on the road to take on California in Week 2.
