7 Mustangs Earn Phil Steele All-ACC Preseason Honors
DALLAS (SMU) – SMU Football had seven players named to the Phil Steele 2024 Preseason All-ACC Team, the publication announced on Tuesday.
The Mustangs' Justin Osborne (first team), RJ Maryland (third team), Kobe Wilson (third team), Roderick Daniels Jr. (fourth team), Isaiah Nwokobia (fourth team), Logan Parr (fourth team) and Elijah Roberts (fourth team) received the preseason honors.
On offense, SMU had four selected to the teams, highlighted by Osborne's first-team selection. The Mustangs return a lot of firepower from an offense that was one of the best in program history in 2023, resulting in the first conference championship since 1984.
The defense notched three selections with Wilson being the highest, making the third team. The Snellville, Ga. native led SMU in tackles last season with 80 and helped lead an SMU defense that was one of three FBS teams to rank in the top 12 in the country in sacks (third), scoring defense (11th) and total defense (12th).
