SMU QB Matt Davis still waiting word on sixth year of eligibility

SMU might be getting one of its key players back for an extra year.

Mustangs quarterback Matt Davis has applied for a sixth year of eligibility after missing most of the 2016 season due to injury.

SMU spokesperson Brad Sutton told The Dallas Morning News that Davis is still waiting on a decision from the NCAA.

After transferring in from Tyler JC by way of Texas A&M, Davis grabbed a hold of the starting job late in the 2014 season. As a junior in 2015, Davis broke out with 2,263 passing yards, 761 rushing yards and 26 total touchdowns.
