Ti20 OTB- Memphis defensive line coach Kyle Pope
12/20/21 • 9 min
Memphis football has a rising star on its hands in Kyle Pope. As the defensive line coach for Ryan Silverfield's Tigers, Pope has found quick success aas an on-field assistant. At Liberty in 2019, Pope mentored the team’s leading tackler, Solomon Ajayi, as the Flames reached a bowl game during their first full season as an FBS member. Last year under Pope, the Tigers were excellent up front with O’Bryan Goodson earning first-team all-conference honors. He also worked for two years as a d-line GA at Alabama. He’s also worked at Holmes Community College, West Alabama and Presbyterian.
Pope is also an excellent recruiter, finishing the 2021 cycle ranked as the No. 3 overall recruiter in the American, per the 247Sports Recruiter Rankings. He was also named to the 247Sports 30Under30 for 2021.
Following up on National Signing Day, GoTigers247 profiled Pope's relationship with the Tigers' top-rated high school signee for the 2022 class Joshua White. As part of that process, GT247 took a few minutes to sit down with White's lead recruiter to get his take on the importance of mental health for collegiate athletes.
