MEMPHIS, Tenn. –Senior offensive lineman Trevon Tate was been named to the Outland Trophy Watch List, Tuesday. A first team all-conference honoree last year, Tate is part of a Memphis offensive line that returns four starters in 2018.

As a sophomore, Tate started 12 of 13 games and helped an offense that piled up 6,028 total yards (third), points (505) and total touchdowns (57).
In 2017, Memphis ranked second in the FBS in scoring (45.5 ppg), fourth in total offense (532.1 ypg) and seventh in passing offense (335.0 ypg). The Tigers also had a 4,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard rusher, and a 1,000-yard receiver for the first time in program history.
Memphis will wrap up American Athletic Conference Media Day festivities on Tuesday and will return to report for fall camp on Thurs., Aug. 2. Season tickets for the 2017 season, which includes seven home games, are on sale now at www.GoTigersGoTix.com.
