12/15/22 - Geoffrey Cantin-Arku, rSr/2024, Memphis + More +

Geoffrey Cantin-Arku came to Memphis football nearly a year ago looking for a fresh start after starting his career at Syracuse. On Tuesday, the linebacker assured fans that he's happy with what he found. Cantin-Arku announced on Twitter that he will be back for his senior and final season with the Tigers. It comes as the junior is third on the team with 66 tackles heading into the First Responder Bowl against Utah State on Dec. 27 (2:15 p.m., ESPN). "Unfortunately as a team, we came up short on our goal this year. I am still very proud of my teammates who fought with me every week until the last down," Cantin-Arku wrote. "That fight is a part of why I believe this team will be really successful in the future." Cantin-Arku had a season-high 12 tackles in the Tigers' regular season finale against SMU. He started 10 of the 12 games he appeared in. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

He does have the option to return to FAU, if he chooses to stay. Although Joyner has entered the portal, he made a major impact towards the football program. His two best seasons came in 2020 and 2021, where he had a combined nine sacks and 76 total tackles in those two seasons alone. - Sun-Sentinel

12/14/22 - Seth Henigan, Sr/2025, Memphis + More +

Seth Henigan's last throw of Memphis football's regular season lingered in his mind. It was an interception in the end zone with seconds remaining that clinched SMU's win over the Tigers. Henigan thought about what he could've done differently and how it was another close loss in the season. What didn't linger was where he thought he'd be playing quarterback in 2023. Less than 24 hours after the game, Henigan told coach Ryan Silverfield he'd back for his junior season. The key factor was loyalty and finishing what he started when he came to Memphis in January 2021. "I made a commitment when I was 17 to this university and this program. That's just who I am," Henigan told The Commercial Appeal on Monday. "Once I make a commitment to something, I'm going to stick with it. I feel like it's best for my career going forward. All my goals are still in front of me as far as college football and the NFL.

"I feel like Memphis, we have a lot of potential going in next year. So I just wanted to make it clear to everyone my intent to stay and hopefully that helps bring other people to our program." Henigan, who's thrown for 3,287 yards, 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions this season, added he never considered the transfer portal as an option. He still believed in what Memphis could accomplish and came away more confident after meeting with Silverfield. As the two shared their goals and expectations for the program, Henigan said Silverfield made clear it was their job to win games. No matter who surrounds them, it's on the quarterback and head coach to accomplish that and Henigan was fine with that challenge. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

12/04/22 - Joshua Hastings, rJr/2025, Memphis + More +

Memphis football defensive back Joshua Hastings announced Saturday via Twitter that he's entered the transfer portal with two years of eligibility remaining. Hastings, a former Cordova High standout, started five games this season and appeared in eight overall with 27 tackles and three pass breakups. The sophomore appeared in 15 games over three seasons. Hastings is the latest Tigers player to enter the transfer portal after kicker David Kemp and defensive tackle Cameron Blaylock did so this week. The portal officially opens at midnight Monday morning. The Tigers' secondary struggled with injuries all season and Hasting missed four of the team's last five games. But His departure adds to some of the depth issues facing the position entering 2023. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

12/02/22 - Seth Henigan, Sr/2025, Memphis + More +

Action/Reaction. Memphis quarterback Seth Henigan and tight end Caden Prieskorn informed the team they will return next season. Memphis could have as many as eight starters on offense back in 2023. However, Althletic director Laird Veatch made clear that neither he nor coach Ryan Silverfield are pleased with the on-field results. Memphis has consecutive losing seasons in conference play for the first time since 2010-11. "To be clear, our shared goal and expectation remain for Memphis to be the top program in our conference and compete annually on the national stage," Athletic Director Laird Veatch said, adding Coach Ryan Silverfield is returning for a fourth season. Veatch's letter came after one of the Tigers went on Twitter to defend Silverfield, who was ripped by ESPN radio host Paul Finebaum. Senior defensive lineman Wardalis Ducksworth sent out two tweets Thursday in support of his coach while also calling out parts of the Memphis fan base. - Memphis Commercial Appeal
