SMU was the second offer for Frisco Independence safety Caleb Ellis, a rising name in the 2021 class.
Independence High School in Frisco opened its doors less than six years ago, but in that short span, the football program has emerged into a must-stop for college football coaches. SMU is hoping to build a pipeline there.
Prior to the start of the calendar year, SMU offered three-star 2021 tight end Elijah Arroyo. Last Sunday, teammate Caleb Ellis added an SMU offer to his recruiting resume.
