Since 2005, they've started 6, 8, 9, 5, 4, 4, 6, 7, 4, 6, 7 and 6 Whites. In 2017 the Tigers are projected to start 6.
Overall this is obviously not a team to root for their but there is some interest in a few of the players. Riley Ferguson replaced Paxton Lynch without skipping a beat last year and has all the makings of a high round draft pick in 2018 at the QB postion. OLB Dillon Jackson missed most of last year due to to a knee injury - if he returns to form he can be another potential draft pick in 2018 for us to keep an eye on. Austin Hall plays the Hyrbid DB/LB role and when I watched Memphis last year he stood out as a playmaker. Other than those three guys their is not alot to get excited about as this is just another team from the south trying to mimic the SEC.
On a side note the offensive line makeup is really interesting - an Indian is slated as the LT and they have Polys and an asian OL man as well. I just thought that was weird for a team in Tennessee.
Players to watch out for include WR Hunter Hill, LB Cade Mashburn, DB Colton Cochran
Offense
QB - Riley Ferguson
TE - Joey Magnifico ** in a battle
C - Drew Kyser 6'5 300 So.
RG - Gabe Kuhn 6'4 295 JR .
Defense
OLB - Dillon Jackson
DB (STAR) - Austin Hall
