Tigers Football Q&A: Trevon Tate

Two-time All-American Athletic Conference offensive lineman has made 47 starts in his Memphis career.

Note: The Trevon Tate Q&A first appeared in the Tigers Football GameDay program Nov. 23 when Memphis hosted Houston.

Q: When did you decide that you wanted to come play football at the University of Memphis?
A: I was being recruited by every school, but I decided that I was going to come to Memphis when I met former (head) Coach (Justin) Fuente. The type of guy that he was, he just came to my house and sat down and ate gumbo with me.
