Aug. 17 will be the day Thor Reneau joins the SMU football team as a preferred walk-on. He's excited about the journey.

Which, in turn, results to new objectives. Get playing time. Earn a scholarship.
Rinse and repeat.
Aug. 17 can't come quick enough for Thor Reneau. That's when the Redondo Beach, California defender, a preferred walk-on, is expected to arrive on the SMU campus and officially become the newest member of the Mustangs.
