Reggie Roberson makes it official

"Growing up, I dreamed about having the opportunity to play in the NFL. Having the chance to turn those dreams into reality are nothing but a blessing. Being able to represent my hometown and play for SMU has been nothing less than amazing.
"The past two years haven't gone exactly the way I planned, but I'm blessed they went the way they did. These minor setbacks have made me stronger than ever. I trust the plan God has for me and I'll never question his work. I also understand that football isn't forever. I have to prepare for life after ball, the first step to doing that is getting my degree from this prestigious university.
"There is a lot I have left to accomplish as a student-athlete, with that being said my time is not up at SMU. After much prayer and talking with my family, I've decided to forego the 2021 NFL Draft. I'll be returning to the Hilltop."
