Fresno State cornerback Cale Sanders Jr entered the NCAA transfer portal this week. SMU offered on Thursday with Arkansas offering right after the Mustangs.
Sanders was a starter for the Bulldogs, and recorded 32 tackles, six pass breakups and two forced fumbles in the 2022 season. In 2021, he played in all 13 games, making 20 tackles, one tackle for loss, an interception and four pass breakups.
Sanders played high school football at New Caney in Texas, where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 1,237 overall recruit in the 2021 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
SMU expected to be active in NCAA Transfer Portal
Since the transfer portal came into existence, SMU’s been one of the most active programs adding transfers. Head coach Rhett Lashlee expects that to continue as the window opens Dec. 5.

This offseason is once again expected to be a busy time across college football with the transfer portal.
“It’s the new era of college football, but we’re all a part of it so we’re all going to roll with it,” Lashlee said before the Memphis game. “It (the window and dead period) gives us time to meet with everybody and just kind of get a gauge where everybody is. There’s a lot of guys that want to be here. We want guys who want to be here. We’ll sort all that stuff out next week. I have a feeling it’s going to be pretty hectic for everyone.
“We have been planning who’s going to be here, who’s not. We’ve got a plan and we feel like we like the guys that are supposedly coming back on our roster. We feel like as always there’s a lot of people that want to be in Dallas and want to be at SMU. We feel like we’ll be able to have a good mix of high school and transfer world.”
