Senate Joint Resolution 415, sponsored by Lamar, 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 and a combined record of 21-5 over the past two years. The team also made a notable return to national rankings, finishing the season ranked 23rd in the Coaches Poll and 24th in the AP Poll, marking their first appearance in these polls 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 set multiple records, including becoming the all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns for the program. Henigan's performance earned him the Offensive MVP title in the 2024 Scooter's Coffee Frisco Bowl, while teammate Chandler Martin received the Defensive MVP award. The resolution also recognizes the contributions of running back Mario Anderson, Jr., and linebacker Chandler Martin, both of whom received All-America honors for their outstanding performances throughout the season. The General Assembly expresses its congratulations to the coaches and players of the University of Memphis Tigers and wishes them continued success in the future.
