While the 2019-20 academic and athletic year is underway, we wanted to take time to celebrate the achievements of our student-athletes, coaches, staff and programs in 2018-19.

Eighty-one student-athletes earned degrees last year, 67% of SMU student-athletes currently hold cumulative GPAs of 3.0 or higher and over one-third of all SAs have GPAs of 3.5 or better. In the 2018-2019 season, we had eight All-Americans, six American Athletic Conference Players of the Year, 74 All-Conference award winners and three Conference Coaches of the Year, with nine programs advancing to the post-season.

Past accomplishments should serve as a source of pride in the present and motivation for an even greater future. Together we will position our athletics program as the best in the American Athletic Conference.

I invite you to contact me if you have questions, suggestions or concerns regarding the direction of SMU Athletics. Your feedback is important and appreciated.

Go Mustangs and Pony Up!
