With the college football season right around the corner, let's take a look at which players SMU fans will want to keep an eye on to have big seasons.
Star watch
Courtland Sutton, WR: Sutton enters the season on the watch list for the Biletnikoff Award, given annually to the country's best receiver. He finished 2016 just 93 yards away from Emmanuel Sanders' single-season receiving record. Sutton says he is not aiming for the record as a junior. He's projected by most analysts as a first-round pick in next year's NFL draft.
Justin Lawler, DE: The 6-foot-4 senior anchors what the Mustangs hope will be a special unit in 2017.
