  Draft Scout by Conference









  SMU quarterback Tanner Mordecai believes in the idea that success happens when preparation meets opportunity. It's a simple formula when everything aligns, but that last element - opportunity - has eluded the Oklahoma transfer through his first three collegiate years. With the Mustangs, an opportunity is finally in Mordecai's grasp, and the Waco native plans to make the most of it. Mordecai, a transfer from Oklahoma, started the first day of SMU's fall practice with the first-team offense on Friday. Head coach Sonny Dykes said there will be some rotation between Mordecai, former walk-on Derek Green, and true freshman Preston Stone, but it was Mordecai that got the first nod.

Meaningful? Perhaps, but it doesn't change Mordecai's mission. He committed to SMU hours after he entered the transfer portal last December because this, he believes, is where his preparation will finally meet an opportunity. "It's a quarterback competition, but I'm completely confident in myself that I'll be the starter Week 1," Mordecai said after Friday's practice. "Going with the 1s is who I trained with all summer. There's nothing different. Tomorrow if I go with the 2s I'm going to do the exact same thing and have the exact same approach, so it doesn't matter." - Dallas Morning News
