More on SMU QB Preston Stone entering the 2024 campaign

Preston Stone is ready for SMU to take on the ACC in 2024. A new conference comes new matchups and new challenges but the Mustangs will go in “guns ablazing.”

The ACC churned out quality quarterbacks in recent years, making the jump to the NFL. Now that SMU is playing Power Four football, Stone knows there are more eyes and greater expectations.

But the team fits in just well.

“I think we fit in just well,” Stone said at ACC Media Days. “The ACC does have a tradition of putting a lot of talented quarterbacks in the NFL. Just off the top of my head, I think of Jameis Winston, Trevor Lawrence, Deshaun Watson. We’re coming into this conference guns a blazing. I think the quarterback room fits perfectly with that.”

Stone seems well equipped for a step up in competition. Last season, he threw for 3,197 yards, 28 touchdowns, six interceptions and a 59.9% completion percentage

As a member of the Class of 2021, Stone was a four-star recruit out of Dallas (Texas) Parish Episcopal School, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 20 overall prospect in the state, the No. 14 quarterback in the class and the No. 123 overall prospect in the class.

SMU takes on the Nevada Wolfpack in their Week 0 matchup. That one will begin at 8:00 PM EST and will be nationally televised on CBS Sports Network. The Mustangs are currently favored in that one by 25.5 points, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
