08/02/22 - AnDarius Coffey, rSr/2025, Memphis + More +

After watching spring practice, Memphis offensive coordinator Tim Cramsey said that running back Andarius Coffey is a player under the radar to keep an eye on. Said Cramsey: "You don't look at him as a 200-pound kid but we dropped him in the slot and told him to run routes so he's done a good job there. He's a piece you can move around, he's a guy you can give the ball in space and he's a little more electric than some of the guys in that room." Andarius, listed as 6-0, 181, was out injured last season and played sparingly as a freshman in 2020. Andarius played quarterback at Winona High School in Mississippi and was expected to try defensive back in college. He threw for 3,471 career yards and 39 touchdowns while rushing for 3,399 yards and 48 touchdown as a senior. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

07/29/22 - Quindell Johnson, rSr/2023, Memphis + More +

Quindell Johnson flirted with the NFL Draft but the two-time All-AAC second team selection returns for a final year as possibly the Tigers' best overall player. It's a good sign for a team that was 103rd nationally in passing yards allowed last season and has been among the nation's bottom 30 teams in that category four of the last five seasons. Johnson's been an intelligent, instinctive playmaker since his freshman year (six career interceptions, 104 tackles last season). He's also durable with no missed games in three seasons and will help lead a defense that returns three starters in the secondary. If the Tigers' pass defense improves, Johnson must be at the center of it. A big season won't just help his NFL stock, it could help the defense take significant steps forward under first-year coordinator Matt Barnes. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

07/29/22 - Seth Henigan, Sr/2025, Memphis + More +

Seth Henigan returns after his Freshman All-American season as the established leader of the Tigers' offense. All eyes are on him to take a bigger leap in his second year. Henigan added more weight since last season to get stronger. He's a better student of the offense, which won't change much under offensive coordinator Tim Cramsey. But with fewer proven skill position players around him, Memphis needs him healthy to carry a greater burden on offense. The Tigers saw last season how quarterback injuries can affect things. Grant Gunnell's preseason injury opened the door for Henigan and when Henigan was out against UCF with a shoulder injury, the offense sputtered. Until playmakers emerge, the offense revolves around Henigan and his health is as critical as his on-field growth. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

07/15/22 - Seth Henigan, Sr/2025, Memphis + More +

Seth Henigan's debut season at Memphis went smoother than expected. He made history as the first true freshman quarterback to start a Tigers season opener, then became a freshman all-American. Henigan enters preseason camp of year two as the no-doubt starter. After throwing for 3,322 yards - second-most by a Tigers quarterback in his first season - and 25 touchdowns with eight interceptions, Henigan leads an offense with new coordinator Tim Cramsey that faces more personnel questions than recent seasons. Who will be his No. 1 receiving target? Can the run game get back to its 2017-19 form? With four returning starters on the offensive line, how much better can Henigan get? Ask coach Ryan Silverfield, and there's confidence Henigan has yet to reach his ceiling. "Going into a second year of a quarterback, whether it's a rookie in the NFL or freshman to sophomore year, the game's going to slow down a little bit more," Silverfield said on 92.9 FM ESPN Friday. "(Seth's) not thinking about the play concept ... or processing in your mind as a play occurs. Now hopefully, it just naturally happens where it's just a feel for it, that he's been in those situations before." - Memphis Commercial Appeal

Brady White will be back on the Memphis sidelines as the former Tigers quarterback has been hired as an offensive graduate assistant, a source familiar with the decision told The Commercial Appeal. The source requested anonymity because an announcement has not been made public. 2023 Recruiting Class: Memphis football beefs up 2023 recruiting class with 'monster' commitment, more defense.

White spent three seasons at Memphis (2018-20) and set school records for quarterback wins, passing yards and touchdowns. In 2019, he led the Tigers to their most successful season in school history that ended with a berth in the Cotton Bowl against Penn State. Memphis went 12-2 that season, setting a program single-season record for wins, and won its first outright AAC championship with a win over Cincinnati. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

05/25/22 - Seth Henigan, Sr/2025, Memphis + More +

Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield affirmed Monday that Seth Henigan will be his starting quarterback when the Tigers open preseason practice in August. With Grant Gunnell transferring to North Texas this month, Henigan enters the season as one of two Tigers quarterbacks on the roster with in-game experience. But after he and Gunnell battled this spring, the job once again belongs to Henigan. "We know that Seth's our guy moving forward, we're excited about him," Silverfield said at Fire Station 18 where the Tigers unveiled a new blue pumper truck that will be present at various sporting events next season. Silverfield didn't mention Gunnell by name but Henigan said during a radio interview Friday that he believed Gunnell left because he felt he wouldn't be the starter.

Henigan said he took almost all the first-team reps in the spring and understood why Gunnell, who started two seasons at Arizona, wanted to perhaps seek another opportunity. It's something Silverfield knows well as he's described how roster management is often part of his job. Memphis has added six players via transfer since spring practice ended. "I understand this day and age with college football and the transfer portal, especially with the quarterback position," Silverfield said. He added that he doesn't expect the Tigers to dive too deeply into the portal between now and August. - Memphis Commercial Appeal
