Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield remembers sitting on a bus talking to defensive back Greg Rubin on Junior Day five years ago.
Rubin, a junior standout at White Station High at that time, was being recruited by the Tigers.
He’ll now be playing in his final home game at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium when Memphis (8-2, 4-2 American Athletic Conference) plays host to UAB on Saturday (7 p.m., ESPN2). Rubin will be among 35 players being honored on Senior Day. Some of the honorees still have eligibility remaining, but for Rubin, this is his last hurrah.
