Pulaski (Arkansas) Academy QB Braden Bratcher (6-0, 185) said on his Twitter account that he has received and apparently accepted a preferred walk-on offer from SMU. Three-time state champion. As a senior, he passed for 764 yards and nine touchdowns and had 900 total yards ... in a single game, Pulaski's 84-68 win over Har-Ber (Springdale). His 764 passing yards set a state record and are the ninth-highest single-game total ever in any state.

I am excited to receive a preferred walk-on to SMU Football. I will work and earn my scholarship once I am there and playing for the Mustangs. Thank you @rhettlashlee for talking with me! Good luck in the #BocaRatonBowl ! #PonyUp

For those that do not know, this school is the one that never punts and every kickoff is an onside kick. Coach says that you get 4 downs to make 10 yards so why waste one of them kicking.

Curious on execution percentage.

I will look it up later. I know they do very well. 80+ points will tell you that. But when they fail from 4th down on their own 2 yard line for instance, they tend to give up more points than most.
