WATCH: SMU QB commit Keldric Luster stars in McKinney win
2023 McKinney (Tex.) quarterback Keldric Luster committed to SMU over the summer, giving the Mustangs their signal caller for the recruiting class. This fall, he’s in Year 1 at McKinney High after transferring from Frisco (Tex.) Liberty in the offseason.
On Friday, he starred with nearly 500 total yards of offense in a thrilling 60-51 win over Denton (Tex.) Braswell. The win moved the Lions to 5-1, eclipsing their win total from the 2021 season already. The two teams combined for 1,386 total yards and 67 first downs.

The impressive showing allowed McKinney to come back and beat the Bengals, who jumped out to early 14-0 and 21-7 leads. Check out the exclusive highlights from On The Pony Express below.
