Senate Joint Resolution 415, sponsored by Lamar, honors the University of Memphis Tigers football team for their remarkable achievements during the 2024 season. Under the leadership of Coach Ryan Silverfield, the Tigers achieved their first consecutive double-digit win seasons in program history, finishing with eleven wins and a record of 21-5 over the past two seasons. The team made a notable return to national rankings, closing the season at number twenty-three in the Coaches Poll and number twenty-four in the AP Poll, marking their first appearance in either poll 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 accomplishments, particularly those of quarterback Seth Henigan, who set multiple records, including becoming the program's all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns. Henigan was recognized as the Offensive MVP of the 2024 Scooter's Coffee Frisco Bowl and earned accolades at the Reese's Senior Bowl. Other standout players included running back Mario Anderson, Jr., who ranked eighth nationally in total scrimmage yards, and linebacker Chandler Martin, who excelled defensively. The resolution concludes by congratulating the coaches and players for their outstanding season and wishing them continued success.
