The Memphis Tigers have established an identity as an offensive juggernaut since joining the American Athletic Conference. Memphis is one of five programs — joining the ranks of Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, and Georgia — to win eight games or more in each of the last seven seasons. The Tigers’ sustained level of excellence is highly connected to the level of caliber quarterback play that has graced the campus in the last decade.
Each of Memphis’ last three quarterbacks is responsible for an AP Top 25 finish, marking tangible evidence of their illustrious tenures. Paxton Lynch leveraged his success in the Grind City into a first round NFL draft selection.
