VIDEO:
SMU football head coach Chad Morris and running back Xavier Jones met the media Saturday to discuss — among other things — spring practice, Courtland Sutton's absence, who is moving from defense to offense, how the team will juggle a crowded backfield, and the development of the Mustangs' quarterbacks.

Although he is a walk-on, Jalen Lynch is a big, strong dude. I went to a practice last year & couldn't believe a guy built like that was a true-freshman walk-on. They had him going up against Saena in 1v1 competitions - he more than held his own.

If he can learn quickly, I wouldn't be shocked to see him end up in the 2-deep at OL at some point.

Well, Dad is still an employee of SMU so I assume Jalen is getting the free tuition benefit. Agree it would be nice to see him develop and add to the depth chart

He definitely didn't look out of place in drill with three OL vs three DL. Not saying he's a finished product, but he anchored and held his ground against bigger DLs.
