Truly a shame. He had so much talent and promise.
I just hope he gets a good degree and recovers fully from his injury.
Good luck to you, ShanDerrick.

The best part of that story is the fact that he's going to stay involved with the team as a student-assistant - meaning he'll be around until he gets his degree.
Get better, ShanD

Once a Mustang, always a Mustang! ShanD is a 'class act' and I know he'll be an asset to the team as a student assistant. Best of luck to him!

I really thought he would recover too...oh well. I'm glad he'll be finishing his degree.

Best of luck to you, ShanDerrick. Thank you for bringing so much excitement to Mustang fans everywhere. But, we're glad you're sticking around! Now, hit those books hard, and whip those running backs into shape!

This is heartbreaking news. I've watched ShanD since he was in high school, and always been a big fan of his. He's a talented kid and terrific young man. I wish him all the best.

I'm also glad that the Ponies - who will remain my favorite team - have such talented running backs to carry the load.

It's a crime that Cavan didn't let him get the single game rushing record.

Good luck to Shan the Man in all of his future endeavors. He will be greatly missed.

ShanD, your career on the field was too brief, but a pleasure to watch.
Good luck and good health.

This is tough news, but leads you to believe Bennett anticipated this when he made that comment at the banquet year before last.

ShanDerrick certainly provided all of us with some very special moments during what was otherwise just another miserable season for SMU football. Good to hear he's still going to be around and be a part of this team. Hopefully he can enjoy being part of a successful SMU football team before he graduates.

ShanD,
I had the pleasure of cheering for you in the stands with your family. You climb the stairs and sometimes the Lord makes you go back down a few. He is working on you and believe there are still great things to come. Take care and God Bless!
