Keeping players from Dallas close to home is a major priority for SMU under Sonny Dykes. That also includes getting players from Dallas to return home in particular cases.

Danny Gray is a player the Mustangs would love to see playing for his home crowd. The former Madison High School standout is now at Blinn College in Brenham, and he currently is a TCU commit. While at Blinn, Gray has established himself as one of the elite JUCO players in the country.

For weeks, Gray has been a target SMU has been working on, and over the weekend, the Mustangs were able to get the 6-1, 180-pound speedster and national top-20 JUCO player on campus for an official visit.

It was a visit that didn't disappoint, according to Gray.
