If he stays at SMU next year, chances are that he will be even more of a contributer and be able to really showcase himself for the NFL scouts.

I hope he stays. He is fun to watch. It's been a long time since we had such an awesome game breaker at RB. The last two I really remember who were in Shawnbrey's class were Rodnick Phillips and Donte Womack.

Don't forget ShanDerrick Charles! Man, I wish he would have been able to play 4 years.

Yeah, but whenever we start talking about great back at SMU in recent history, I always think of him. It was a shame he had to leave the game.

Kate Hairopoulos reports:

Shawnbrey McNeal told The Dallas Morning News today that he will pursue the NFL and forego his senior season.

McNeal became the first collegiate 1,000-yard rusher under June Jones this season as SMU went 8-5 and won the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl in December.

A Madison product, McNeal transferred to SMU after two seasons at Miami. The NCAA cleared him to play immediately because of family hardships. More details to follow.

Bummer! Good luck, man. Thanks for the ride this season.

[smupony94]

Opens up another scholarship doesn't it?

[Peruna94&07]

Good luck Shawnbrey, it was fun watching you this season.

Now other than Daryl coming in as a freshman, who do we have in the backfield? Is Butler still around? With Padron starting to click with the receivers I hope one of the other guys can keep the defense honest. We would not have been in Hawaii without Shawnbrey.

[Junior]

F word.

Oh well.

Good luck, Shawnbrey. Thanks for all you did last year, and know that we're all rooting for you as you make the next step.
