The 2026 football season hasn’t started yet, and the Memphis Tigers have already planned recruiting visits for the American Conference Championship weekend on Dec. 5, Memphis coach Charles Huff told a crowd of Highland Hundred members during a kickoff party Monday evening at Wiseacre Brewing Company on Broad Avenue.
“That is not a wish in one hand and hope,” Huff said to the group of longtime Memphis supporters. “That’s putting things in place. We’ll be the only game in town. We play at 8 (p.m.). There’s a lot of really, really good recruits and commits that we already have, that we will have on campus.”
