Where Are They Now: Russell Copeland

Former Tiger wide receiver on schedule to earn his degree in May.

NOTE: The Russell Copeland/Where Are The Now feature first appeared in the Sept. 7 Memphis Football GameDay program when the Tigers hosted Southern.

Playing during an era in which pass-oriented, spread offenses had not become the norm, Russell Copeland made the most of the times he was targeted.

Although it has been more than 25 years since he last caught a pass in a Tigers uniform, Copeland remains prominently placed in the University of Memphis record book in multiple receiving categories.
