Sonny Dykes and his staff have completed their first full recruiting cycle. Here's who has signed their letter of intent so far.
CB Donald Clay (John Curtis HS)
Clay has been recruited by SMU for quite some time. He has been outspoken about "wanting to build a franchise" at SMU.
JUCO OL Cobe Bryant (Riverside CC)
Bryant was offered in October and committed in early December.
DB Roderick Roberson Jr. (Royse City HS)
DL Elijah Chatman (Evangel Christian HS)
Chatman committed in June after taking his official two weeks before.
WR Calvin Wiggins Jr. (Byron Nelson HS)
OL CerTaidrian Brooks (Allen HS)
Brooks committed to SMU in June. We caught up with him last year at the spring game.
RB Ulysses Bentley IV (King HS)
Bentley was one of several commits that SMU garnered in June.
DB Chace Cromartie (Steele HS)
SMU got in on Cromartie late, but he flipped to the Mustangs from Texas State.
WR Keontae Burns
QB Terrance Gipson (Westfield HS)
Gipson suffered a season ending injury in early September. He was one of the recruits who tried to help SMU bring in more players in its 2019 class.
DE Warren Walls (Bishop Lynch HS)
Walls was a July commit. He's a local kid from Dallas who has the size to play outside linebacker or defensive end.
JUCO DB Sam Westfall
Westfall was offered late by SMU and committed Monday after visiting last weekend. Dykes and his staff had tried hard to get a JUCO DB and finally landed one in the 3-star corner from Arizona.
WR Rashee Rice (North Richland Hills HS)
Rice was offered under Morris and then again under Dykes before committing in August. SMU was his first offer. His teammate Shamar Johnson is also an SMU pledge.
LB Nelson Paul
SMU was searching for a linebacker after losing Lucas Eatman and found one in Florida product Nelson Paul. Paul picked SMU over offers from Pittsburgh and several other G5 schools. He was a signing day commit.
