Hey folks, the SMU Mustangs are kicking off their first season in the ACC with a bang! A bunch of their players are already getting some love from the College Football Network (CFN) with preseason All-America honors. This is big news and it's got everyone hyped for the 2024 college football season.
RJ Maryland, Tight End
RJ Maryland is looking like a total rockstar this year. He's snagged a spot on the Second-Team All-American list. Last season, he was all over the place making plays and ended up with the second-most catches (34), receiving yards (518), and yards per game (37) for the Mustangs. Oh, and he's got a knack for scoring, too, with 5 touchdowns to his name. He's already a legend at SMU with the second-most touchdown catches ever for a tight end. So yeah, you should keep an eye on this guy. Check out his CFN profile for more deets on his killer stats.
Kobe Wilson, Linebacker
Kobe Wilson isn't just a beast on defense; he's a total stud on special teams too. He's made the Second-Team All-American list because of his amazing work in 2023. The dude had 80 tackles, which was the most on the team, and even found time to get 3.5 tackles for loss and recover a fumble. His versatility is off the charts, and it's definitely going to help the Mustangs this season. You can peep his CFN page to see what he's all about.
Elijah Roberts, Defensive End
Elijah Roberts is a force to be reckoned with. He's got an Honorable Mention All-American nod, and it's not hard to see why. The guy had 10 sacks and was a huge part of the SMU defense with 37 tackles, 5 for loss, and 2 forced fumbles. He's a total game-changer and a big reason why the Mustangs are looking so strong.
