Recruits impressed with Memphis Jr Day

Kids from the 2020 and 2021 class came to Memphis to experience Junior Day and they came away impressed with the coaches and the university.

Spartansburg (SC) running back Charles McFadden said the Jr Day was great and he really enjoyed his time in Memphis.

McFadden spoke about his recruiting coach (Anthony Jones) and the rest of the staff at Memphis, "I’ve built a good relationship with them and from just spending that Junior day with them, I learned some good things and they have a good program going on up there."

Cordova (TN) wide receiver Joshua Hastings had a great time as well.

"It was great I had an wonderful time," Hastings told TigerSportsReport.com

Hasting also talked about his favorite part of the event, "When they were telling us to stay true to ourselves and go where we can make a impact to...whatever college...even if it’s not Memphis."

Defensive Tackle Rashad Muhammad from Little Rock (AR) spoke highly about his Jr Day visit.

"It’s was pretty good. I love the atmosphere out there. All the coaches are pretty cool too!"

Muhammad got to meet his recruiting coach, Tony Tokarz. "I like how he stays in touch with his recruit...he’s pretty cool."

What was his favorite part of the Jr Day?

"Going to the locker room and trying on jerseys. Also, meeting my position coach."

His position coach is new DL coach Tim Edwards.

"I like what he’s all about. Coach Edwards is not just about football, seems like he can teach you life lessons as well. He has a lot of energy about him also. I’d like to meet him again."

Three-star Defensive End Jashaud Stewart from Jonesboro (AR) also took in the event.

He spoke highly about the Jr Day, "It went great. The facility was nice and I enjoyed how Coach Norvell talked about the family aspect saying that everybody there is a family and they are looking to see and help you succeed...off the field as well"

Coach Tokarz is his main recruiter and Stewart had high praise for him, "

A great coach that is always available when I call and he makes sure everything going alright”

Three-star running back Rahjai Harris was pleasantly surprised by the Jr Day. He talked about the Memphis offer he received and his thoughts on the offense.

"I like it to be honest. I love how the running backs get the ball!" Harris said he really loved the Jr Day.

The fact that Darrell Henderson was very successful at Memphis and headed to the NFL has Harris thinking about Memphis more seriously but said he'll keep his options open.
