¡Magnifico!

Senior finishes career with most receiving yards by a tight end in program history.

NOTE: This Joey Magnifico feature first appeared in the Memphis GameDay program Nov. 2 when the Tigers hosted SMU.

Four years ago, Joey Magnifico was a freshman at the University of Memphis, a walk-on tight end hoping, one day, to contribute to the football team he grew up watching, and dreaming of playing for, as a kid.

If he needed a role model at such a young, tender stage of his career, he didn't have to search.
