Since 2005, SMU has started 8, 8, 11, 10, 10, 10, 10, 9, 9, 9, 10, 5, 8, 7, and 8 white starters. In 2020 they look to be at 8 again.
Buechele is a solid quarterback who should have another good year. TJ McDaniel will be the first RB in the committee, he could have a breakout season. I figured Tyler Page would finally be the starting slot receiver this year but of course they got a JUCO transfer who “has been the best player in camp so far”, so hopefully he can still get reps after being the #2 for three years now.
On defense, Harrison Loveless has earned a starting job at DT and Turner Coxe returns after two solid starting campaigns in the previous years. Denbow is also in his third year as a starter but he won’t be playing safety like last year, he is their “fox” linebacker which I assume is like a hybrid. One of his backups is Oklahoma transfer Ty DeArman, who is much smaller at 185lbs.
Players to watch:
RB Tyler Lavine, WR Tyler Page, TE Tommy McIntyre, OT Ben Sparks, OG Thomas Shelmire, C Cameron Ervin, NT Will Jones, LB/S Ty DeArman, LB Brian Holloway
OFFENSE
QB Shane Buechele (SR)
RB TJ McDaniel (SO)
LG Hayden Howerton (SR)
C Alan Ali (JR)
RT Beau Morris (SR)
DEFENSE
DT Harrison Loveless (JR)
DE Turner Coxe (JR)
LB Trevor Denbow (SR)
