Buechele is considered a late-round/priority free agent prospect. - The Dallas Morning News

  Granson eventually spent a year as a walk-on while redshirting at SMU and developed into one of the most reliable pass-catchers the Mustangs had the past two years. He's totaled 14 touchdowns and 1,257 yards worth of catches, and has even ran the ball three times. The opportunity at SMU came seemingly out of nowhere - the luck of one pickup truck in just the right spot. And two weeks ago, Granson got another opportunity, again totally unexpected. Dykes called Granson into his office to congratulate him. He'd been invited to the Senior Bowl - the top showcase game for NFL draft prospects.

Granson, with his speed and size, knew that there would be some pro interest. But at the time, he didn't know just how important a Senior Bowl invitation was. He didn't know if he'd be retuning to SMU - a possibility afforded to him by the NCAA granting an extra year of eligibility in 2020. In that brief conversation in Dykes' office, he realized just how legitimate his NFL chances were. His future was about to start very quickly. "I wanted him to return," David Granson said of his mindset before the Senior Bowl invite. "He hasn't played a lot of football. Even to this point, he hasn't played a lot of football. "But then when all these things started happening, it only made sense if there's people out there that think you can do this at the next level - and possibly get drafted to do it at the next level - then you've got to try to go figure that out." - Dallas Morning News

  2020 LOU GROZA COLLEGIATE PLACE-KICKER AWARD NATIONAL SEMIFINALIST: Chris Naggar - SMU,...Naggar is 17-for-21 on the season on field goals and 43-of-46 on PATs. His 17 field goals tie for fifth in a season at SMU and is one behind the program record. He ranks ninth nationally in total points scored at 94 and 12th in field goals per game at 1.70, and he leads the conference in both. Naggar is one of five on the list to have made at least 15 field goals while connecting at a rate better than 80%. - SMU Football

  A former Alabama tight end is back in the NCAA transfer portal. Kedrick James, who transferred from Alabama to SMU last year, re-entered the transfer portal Wednesday, AL.com has learned. James had to sit out last year due to NCAA transfer rules and it was reported during the summer that he was no longer a member of the SMU program. A former four-star recruit, James was part of Alabama's 2017 recruiting class and had a 29-yard touchdown catch-and-run during the Tide's 2019 spring game. - Birmingham News

  Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley doesn't have any hard feelings toward his former tight end, who will soon play for Auburn. Former Sooner standout Grant Calcaterra announced he'll be transferring to the SEC program a year after he medically retired from football due to his history with concussions. Calcaterra decided in August to resume his playing career and entered the NCAA transfer portal, leading him to the Tigers. "That's not really a surprise knowing him, the type of competitor he is and player he is," Riley said. "He had some great moments here, some great moments. Was a big-time player for us and will be, in some ways, hard seeing him play in another jersey."

Calcaterra finished his OU career with 637 yards receiving and nine touchdowns. He averaged 15.5 yards a catch, hauling in 41 passes over 33 games. Riley confirmed Calcaterra discussed his football future at OU after choosing to come out of retirement from the sport but didn't disclose any details to those conversations. "I'm not going to get too far into them," Riley said. "but I am excited that he's found an opportunity to go play at Auburn. He's one of those guys you want nothing but the best for that kid and he clearly wants to play again." - Norman Transcript
