Padron may look like a mere adolescent, but the former South Lake Carroll quarterback was brilliant for the Mustangs during his freshman season.
SMU is a team on the rise, and with a full off-season under his belt, Padron should be even more adept leading June Jones' passing friendly offense.
Padron ending last season very strong, throwing for 460 yards and two touchdowns en route to a 45-10 Hawaii bowl win over Nevada — the first bowl victory for SMU in 25 years.
If this former two star recruit continues to mature, it's likely that he will lead the Mustangs to a few more bowl victories before all is said and done.
