Squirrel White, Micah Pettus injury update: New details emerge on status vs. Pitt
Florida State has two key players listed as doubtful Saturday: WR Squirrel White and RT Micah Pettus, per ESPN’s Pete Thamel. The Seminoles take on Pitt.
“Sources: Florida State WR Squirrel White and starting RT Micah Pettus are both considered doubtful today against Pitt,” Thamel wrote on Twitter/X. “WR Jayvan Boggs and TE Randy Pittman are considered game-time decisions whether they’ll be able to go, as they’ll warm up and a determination will be made.”
In four games, White has just four catches for 52 yards this season. He’s been limited on the field, as well as due to injury since transferring from Tennessee this offseason.
Without Pettus, QB Thomas Castellanos will certainly have to make adjustments as well. Florida State is coming off their second loss of the season, losing 28-22 to Miami last week.
Predictions for the game are flying in, including from ESPN’s Greg McElroy. He is rolling with Florida State in a comfortable scenario. BetMGM currently offers FSU as 10-point favorites, a number McElroy would take as well.

Squirrel White, Micah Pettus doubtful for Florida State
“I’m taking Florida State in a big bounce back here,” McElroy said via Always College Football. “I think Pitt is a team that, while last week looked incredible. I think Florida State still remains very real. I think they get this done, I’d lay the points with the Noles at home.”
Pitt experienced some struggles of their own recently, dropping the Backyard Brawl to West Virginia before losing by seven at home to Louisville. However, a get-right game did take place last Saturday vs. Boston College. Mason Heintschel brought some confidence to the offense by throwing for 323 yards, four touchdowns, and completing 73.2% of his throws.
Even so, losing this one to Florida State would make it three of the last four. Not what Pat Narduzzi imagined entering the season, possibly having aspirations of competing at the top end of the ACC. Unfortunately, McElroy does see Pitt winding up on the wrong end by double-digits.
