While we sit the middle of another college football offseason, SportsDay is reviewing the most recent recruiting classes for our local schools.
Here is a look at the SMU Mustangs' 2017 signees.
Best player in the class: Hayden Howerton, OL
A season-ending injury to Nick Natour in the Cincinnati game put the true freshman Howerton front and center at left guard. He held his own and could be the man to replace Evan Brown at center next season.
Most surprising player in the class: Tyeson Neals, DE
The junior college transfer was expected to be behind a long list of other players at defensive end.
