Since arriving at Rocky Top in 2021, White has revitalized Tennessee Athletics, bringing it back to national prominence.
The momentum at Rocky Top reached a historic high in 2023-24, as Tennessee Athletics achieved its best year ever. It became one of only two Power Five schools to qualify all its teams for postseason play, marking the first time in UT history that this has occurred. The across-the-board success helped Tennessee earn a third-place finish in the LEARFIELD Directors' Cup standings, its best mark ever, and its third straight SEC All-Sports Trophy. Tennessee became the second school to win three consecutive SEC All-Sports titles. Before White's arrival, Tennessee had never won the SEC All-Sports Trophy or finished in the top five of the Directors' Cup.
...In 2024, Tennessee became the only school in the nation to appear in the College Football Playoff, Elite 8, and College World Series.
...Tennessee is well-positioned to have all 20 of its sports teams reach the postseason for the second consecutive year. If successful, it would be the only Power Four school in the nation to achieve this feat for two straight seasons.
