TTT Answer

Joe Jackson was the seventh McDonald’s All-American (2010) from Memphis to suit up for the U of M. Name the first six.

• Elliot Perry (1987)
• Anthony Douglas (1989)
• Deuce Ford (1993)
• Cedric Henderson (1993)
• Lorenzen Wright (1994)
• Elliot Williams (2008)

Adonis Thomas will become the 8th McDonald’s alum from Memphis to play for the Tigers when he suits up this November. (Interesting/baffling note: Not one of these honorees played for John Calipari. Thaddeus Young was the only Memphis McDonald’s All-American during the Calipari era, and he attended Georgia Tech.)
