Jaylin Carter exploded onto the scene with a historic performance, rushing for 183 yards and four touchdowns on just 19 carries while adding an 18-yard reception—totaling over 200 all-purpose yards in Memphis’ win over Arkansas State.

Carter’s explosive efficiency (averaging over 9 yards per carry) was matched by teammate Manny Covey’s 100-yard day, as Memphis racked up a school-record 523 total yards—the highest output since 2024.
