House Joint Resolution 591, sponsored by Representative Harris, honors the University of Memphis Tigers football team for their exceptional performance during the 2024 season. Under the leadership of Coach Ryan Silverfield, the Tigers achieved a historic milestone by recording back-to-back double-digit win seasons, finishing with eleven victories in 2024. This accomplishment marks only the second time in the program's history that they have reached eleven wins in a season. The team also made a notable return to national rankings, finishing the season ranked twenty-third in the Coaches Poll and twenty-fourth in the AP Poll, a first since 2019. Additionally, the Tigers hold the longest active streak in the nation for scoring twenty or more points in forty consecutive games.

The resolution highlights individual achievements, particularly those of quarterback Seth Henigan, who became the program's all-time leader in passing yards, touchdowns, and completion percentage. Henigan's impressive career includes breaking multiple records and earning MVP honors in various games, including the Reese's Senior Bowl. Other standout players, such as running back Mario Anderson, Jr. and linebacker Chandler Martin, also received accolades for their performances throughout the season. The resolution concludes by congratulating the coaches and players for their remarkable season and wishing them continued success in the future.
