Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch led the Tigers in an upset win over Ole Miss this past Saturday and has shown scouts franchise-quarterback potential, according to NFL media analyst Bucky Brooks.

Lynch has led Memphis to an undefeated 6-0 start and has the Tigers competing for an AAC title this year. The junior quarterback had a huge game this weekend against Ole Miss, throwing for 384 yards with three touchdowns. Lynch is continuing to display his arm strength to NFL scouts this season, as well as his awareness and accuracy.

The junior quarterback will likely stay for another season at Memphis, but his numbers could warrant interest from the league. Lynch has played all three seasons at Memphis, and this year, he has thrown 1,919 passing yards with 13 touchdowns to one interception. If Lynch continues to perform at this level, it won't be long before he becomes one of the top prospects at his position.

Lynch's biggest criticism was that he played inferior competition in the American Conference, but after a win over a nationally ranked SEC team, scouts seem to be changing their opinion. The Tigers quarterback is 6-foot-6, 230 pounds and knows how to move around in the pocket while keeping his eyes downfield.

After this weekend, the Tigers are starting to get a ton of recognition, and head coach Justin Fuente will be sought this offseason by big programs, according to Pete Thamel and Thayer Evans of campusrush.com. A big win like the one Memphis had this weekend can really shine a spotlight on star players and coaches, but now that everyone is watching, it will be interesting to see how they perform Friday night against Tulsa.
