After announcing he was entering the NCAA's transfer portal in mid-January, Arkansas freshman receiver TQ Jackson has found his transfer destination. Jackson, who caught one pass in his brief Razorbacks career, has committed to SMU, according to a post on his Twitter account. A native of Jefferson, Texas, he played in three games - Ole Miss, San Jose State, Texas A&M - in 2019. Jackson was a 4-star prospect, rated the No. 42 wide receiver in the country and No. 41 overall player in the state of Texas out of high school by Rivals. He was one of four 4-star receivers who signed with Arkansas in former coach Chad Morris' 2019 recruiting class. Jackson chose the Razorbacks over scholarship offers from Missouri, Arizona, Arizona State, Baylor, TCU, Texas Tech and other programs. - Northwest Arkansas Times

05/07/20 - Ryan Becker, Sr/2020, Southern Methodist, 6-4, 245 (DS#88 TE) + More +

It was the first day of the NFL draft. The first round. And former SMU tight end Ryan Becker watched nervously on television. "Like I know I wasn't going in the first round," Becker told The Dallas Morning News. "But still, you're just nervous watching it. Because it's just your future and you have no control over it at that point." Becker started six games last season, catching four passes totaling 30 yards. He often entered the game early and played a lot in the Mustangs' system that typically featured two tight ends.

In his four years with SMU, he made 16 catches. But his physicality and willingness to be a team-first player is what made the Arizona Cardinals want to sign him to an undrafted free agent contract in the hours after the draft ended. Even though Becker didn't have a ton of highlight reel catches, and even though SMU's pro day was wiped out by the coronavirus crisis, he still worked his way into an opportunity. "It's crazy and unbelievable....It's a huge weight lifted off your shoulders," Becker said. "Like I've always told people, all I need is my chance. I just needed a chance. And to finally get that chance and to know that I will put on pads again is a great feeling." - Dallas Morning News

04/26/20 - James Proche, rSr/2020, Southern Methodist, 5-11, 201 (DS#20 WR) + More +

Former SMU and DeSoto wide receiver James Proche was selected by the Baltimore Ravens with the No. 201 overall pick in Round 6 of the 2020 NFL Draft. Proche was one of the greatest wide receivers in Mustangs history, dropping just nine passes in his entire Mustangs career, according to Pro Football Focus. His 111 receptions in his senior season were the most in all of FBS, tied with LSU's Justin Jefferson. Perhaps his greatest single moment was a triple-OT walk-off catch against Tulsa to cap off a wild four-quarter comeback. That sent the nationally ranked Mustangs to a 6-0 start. He set school records for receiving touchdowns, career receptions, career receiving yards, and career all-purpose yards, among several more. From Dallas, Proche was ranked as a four-star recruit by ESPN coming out of DeSoto High School. He held offers from numerous top programs, including Louisville, Maryland, TCU and Wake Forest. - Dallas Morning News
