Lashlee and company look to portal for playmakers as Mustangs enter ACC
The SMU Mustangs are gearing up for an exciting 2024 season, and they've strategically utilized the transfer portal to bolster their roster with talented athletes. These four transfer players are expected to make a significant impact on the field and help elevate SMU's performance:Nov 18, 2023; Miami Gardens, Florida, USA; Miami Hurricanes wide receiver Brashard Smith runs with the football against the Louisville Cardinals during the fourth quarter at Hard Rock Stadium.
Perhaps his most impactful role could be as a punt and kick returner, a position where SMU has struggled recently. Smith averaged an impressive 28.9 yards per return at Miami, including a game-changing 98-yard touchdown and finished with 1946 all-purpose yards in three seasons at Miami. The secondary is already solid, but Harmon adds depth and experience with 18 tackles, 7 pass breakups, and an interception in 2023. Harmon appeared in 27 games, making 11 starts in three seasons at Texas A&M. Harmon was a rated a 4-star prospect and a top 20 recruit out of Denton Guyer.
Despite these changes, offensive line coach Garin Justice has been impressed with Byrd's performance during spring practices. Although the Mustangs may be sacrificing some size at the tackle position with Byrd , they are gaining a more athletic player who can contribute to a stronger offensive line.
