Seth Henigan: A coach’s kid who proved he belongs
University of Memphis quarterback Seth Henigan said being the son of a high school football coach influenced his drive to play well. “He definitely held me to a high standard being his son and who he needed to play well in order for our team to be successful because we had so much talent on my high school team.” (Patrick Lantrip/The Daily Memphian)
Here’s why the Memphis quarterback is never rattled: “I belong here. I’m supposed to be here. I’m good enough to be successful at this level and it’s not just because my dad was my coach in high school.”
