Since 2005, SMU has started 8, 8, 11, 10, 10, 10, 10, 9, 9, 9, 10, 5, 8, 7, 8, 8, and 9 white starters. In 2022 they could be up to 8 depending on OL battles.
On offense, Tanner Mordecai returns after a good season last year as a first year starter where he accounted for 41 TD’s. RB’s TJ McDaniel and Tyler Lavine should see plenty of touches, Lavine will probably be the receiving back. I noticed Lavine is now listed at 212lbs after being 220+ the last few seasons. UNC transfer Beau Corrales (1176 yards, 12 TD at UNC) will finally get the starting opportunity he deserves, he will miss at least the first game with injury (missed all of 2021 with injury). TE Ben Redding takes over for Grant Calcaterra who was drafted by the Eagles. LG Joe Bissinger is the only OL on the depth chart without an OR next to his name. The rest of the guys are all toss ups on who will be the starters.
On defense, DE Turner Coxe returns for his 5th season as a starter with 44 career starts under his belt. Like Corrales, he will miss at least the first game with an injury. He is the only white player on the defensive depth chart.
