May 12, 2025 | Football
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – University of Memphis all-time leading passer Seth Henigan was named Male Amateur Athlete of the Year by the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame, the organization announced on Monday. He joins former Tigers Brady White (2021) and DeAngelo Williams (2006, 2005) as recipients of the award.
In his final two seasons as a Tiger, Henigan – the winningest quarterback in program history – helped lead Memphis to back-to-back 10-plus win seasons and a pair of bowl championships over Big 12 opponents (2023 AutoZone Liberty Bowl vs. Iowa State; 2024 Scooter's Coffee Frisco Bowl vs. West Virginia).
The four-year starter ended his career 13th in NCAA history with 14,266 yards and tied for the most touchdown passes in American Athletic Conference history (104). Henigan's name is atop the all-time Memphis record book in nearly every passing statistic.
In his final season as a Tiger in 2024, Henigan threw for 3,502 yards and 25 touchdowns to just six interceptions and was named Third Team All-AAC. He was named to the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award Top 25 and a semifinalist for the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year Award in October.
The Denton, Texas, native signed an NFL contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars following the 2025 NFL Draft last month. .
