SMU linebacker Shaine Hailey visited with PonyFans.com to discuss the Mustangs' preparation for the 2021 season, the switch to defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt's defense, what transfer Isaac Slade-Matautia brings to the defense and what it means to him to wear the No. 23 jersey in honor of former SMU receiver Jerry LeVias.

It's cool how genuinely honored everyone who gets to wear 23 (Chris Banjo, Stephon Sanders, Jeremiah Gaines, Jordan wyatt, etc.) seem to be. They all seem to get the significance.
