Coach Phil Bennett is rapidly making noise down in Texas in putting SMU in contention against several Big 12 powers in the Lone Star state. After gaining the commitment of TE Vincent Chase earlier this spring, SMU gained another huge commitment this morning from RB Jessie Henderson.

"I verbally committed to SMU this morning," Jessie said. "It feels real good to have it over with as I feel a lot of pressure has been taken off my back. I chose SMU over Arkansas and Texas Tech."

Jessie also held an offer from the Kansas Jayhawks. Ultimately, why did Jessie choose the Mustangs over what many woiuld believe to be greener pastures?

"Everything seemed right at SMU, and I really like Coach Bennett. It is close to home for me, and they are going to give me the chance to play running back."

Certainly for Jessie Henderson and other Texas prospects, there may be no greener pasture than SMU.
