Green Wave Football Seniors Share Their Tulane Experience
NEW ORLEANS - Prior to the Green Wave football team's matchup with the Memphis Tigers, Tulane University will honor its 2020 senior class. The 17-member senior class has been part of one of the best four-year stretches in school history and is the ONLY class to win back-to-back bowl games.
The Green Wave seniors will be in search of their 25th win since a major of the class stepped on campus in 2017. Tulane’s 2020 seniors have collected the most wins by a graduating class since 2000.
The 2020 class will look to become the first class in program history to appear in three straight bowls.
In 2019, the Green Wave captured their sixth bowl win in program history, as it won the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl. In 2018, this year’s senior class guided the Green Wave to their fifth bowl win in program history and a share of the American Athletic Conference West Division title.
The 2020 senior class consists of Corey Dublin, Merek Glover, Kevin Henry, Keon Howard, Stephon Huderson, Patrick Johnson, Mykel Jones, Ajani Kerr, Ben Knutson, Chase Kuerschen, Jaylen Miller, Jaylon Monroe, Marvin Moody, Jacob Robertson Jr., Cameron Sample, Jaetavian Toles and De’Andre Williams.
