SMU adding plenty of transfer talent
Roberts joins Miami transfer running back Jaylan Knighton, West Virginia transfer defensive back Charles Woods and Stanford defensive back Jonathan McGill as transfer commits for SMU. Head coach Rhett Lashlee and his staff are balancing preparing for the New Mexico Bowl with transfer recruiting.
“We have to be out actively recruiting, but at the same time preparing for a game in less than two weeks,” Lashlee said on Monday. “We’re out recruiting hard this week. We had a good practice over the weekend. We’ll be able to practice some this weekend and try and get in a normal game week routine in terms of leading up to the game a week from Saturday, but also still recruiting non-stop, in and out until we leave Wednesday for the bowl site.”
The Mustangs will face BYU on Dec. 17 at 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC.
