According to Rivals, 6-3, 225lb inside linebacker Clayton Cox from Garden City C.C. has committed to SMU over Baylor!

Dallas is a long way from Weston, Kan., where Cox is originally from.

“I never thought I would go from the little city to the big city,” he said. “I’m excited.”

YES! YES! YES! YES!

That get's me fired up, players that have chance to help us in 2005!!!!

Clayton Cox comes with the reputation as being one of the best linebackers in the Jayhawk Conference. Great job coaches!

not only 6-3, 225 but also reportedly 4.6 forty-hope its accurate.

I bet it is, because I was told 6-4.5, 225, 4.45 - but that came from a friend of mine who's been known to stretch things a bit. But in addition to being tall, he supposedly has real long arms, very good strength and wheels! I think Stallion's right - sounds like this guy can motor.

Stallion your work # is down, call me in the morning.

i'm just happy to see three stars

Well now we're getting somewhere.

Great news.

I've heard him described as tall, fast and mean.
I can not wait to see this kid suit up for SMU.
Welcome to SMU, Clayton!

This is just another shameless sign that SMU is not committed. If they were really committed to academic integrity, they should eliminate JUCO recruiting.

I assume you're kidding, but I don't think that less than 100 scholarship players on a football team can determine the academic reputation of a school.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I see NOTHING wrong with making exceptions to admissions/transfer standards for kids with exceptional talent... as long as we believe they can pass our courses. If the next Beethoven, Picasso, Sinatra or even the next Kathy Bates were interested in studying here, I wonder how any of you would support denying that person based on subpar grades or test scores...

Besides, I miss competitive football.

Something tells me this killer will be helping with special teams too.
