Snapping lateral hamstring
This is the only source I found online that seemed to match the symtoms
"Lateral, or biceps, snapping hamstrings are usually due to a presumed genetic or injured state where the direct arms of the long and short heads of the biceps no longer attach to the posterolateral aspect of the fibular styloid. In these patients, when they perform a deep squat, the biceps femoris tendon can roll over the fibular head when one squats down. Upon arising, the tendon will often “snap” back into position."
