SMU roster rankings, Nos. 5-1: These players will be critical to the Mustangs' success in 2019

Spring football has passed and the 2019 season is quickly approaching. With that in mind, we're ranking the best players on SMU's roster.

Here are Nos. 5-1:

5. Hayden Howerton / Jr. / Center

The rock at the center of SMU's offensive line, Howerton might be the most well-seasoned player in the unit. The Katy, Texas native has played in every game since he first stepped on The Hilltop on 2017 and has made 18 starts in two seasons. As a true-freshman, Howerton blocked for an offense that ranked 12th nationally in scoring offense, 15th in total offense and 19th in passing offense.
