Family Tradition

Sometimes, you just can't help to born with it. Or, once it's in your blood, it's in there.

For many that lived in the city of Memphis in the early 1970s, that probably was the case. The 1972-73 Memphis State Tigers basketball grabbed ahold of many of that generation that lived in the Bluff City and never let go. Such is the case for the Young family.

Unbeknownst to them, that's how the "younger" Young's – redshirt junior tight end Robby Young and his younger brother, Ryan, a freshman offensive lineman – love affair began with the University and its athletics program.
