With SMU spring football starting on Wednesday, let's take a look at potential breakout candidates this spring. Here's the fourth breakout candidate, and check back across the next couple weeks for the full list.
Shaine Hailey
Sophomore, linebacker
Measurables: 6-foot, 194 pounds
2017 stats: 23 tackles, one forced fumble
Hailey saw a decent amount of playing time as a true freshman, getting his feet wet in a linebacker unit that needed depth from any age group on the roster. He was exactly what you'd expect from a true freshman, reliable at times but extremely raw.
