Tigers get 2nd commitment of the day

The Tiger train keeps rolling as Memphis picked up their 2nd commitment of the day and 5th in the past week.

Dyersburg linebacker Christopher Russell has committed to Memphis.

Russell, 6-foot-2 220 lbs., chose Memphis over Georgia Tech. He's rated a 2-star as of now but that could change over the summer as he goes to various camps and picks up more offers.

Memphis now has 7 commitments for the 2019 class.
