Memphis’s record-setting arm who still owns the Tigers’ passing spotlight
In the 2007 season, Martin Hankins threw for 3,220 yards and 25 touchdowns for Memphis, finishing his Tigers career with 5,770 passing yards and 43 TDs, marks that still place him among the program’s all-time leaders[5][7][13]. His calling card was volume plus efficiency for the era: he completed 61.0% of his passes in 2007 and showed he could carry an offense, with multiple 300-plus-yard outings and a 400-yard, four-TD eruption against Southern Miss[7][11]. If you want a quarterback built to attack through the air and distribute to everyone, Hankins was that guy; if you need elite rushing value or a modern dual-threat profile, that’s not his lane.
