SMU Football is in fall camp ahead of the 2023 season. This year’s version of the Mustangs features 25 transfers coming in as well as the high school additions.
One of those transfers is Jonathan McGill, a former Stanford safety who arrived this spring. Get to know more about him, his leadership style and fitting in with the safeties in the video below.
Mustangs ready for Year 2 of Lashlee era at SMU
The Mustangs are gearing up for the second season under Lashlee’s direction. SMU finished 7-6 in 2023, appearing in the New Mexico Bowl against BYU. Lashlee is the first SMU coach to lead the team to a bowl appearance in his first season since the 1980s.
With quarterback Preston Stone set to start for the first time in his career, SMU should be potent once again on offense. Aided by 25 transfers, the defense was revamped in the offseason to help Scott Symons’ elevate his unit to where the Mustangs need to be.
