Leander defensive end Michael Epley has signed his LOI. He is the only defensive lineman in #SMU's 2014 class.

Not defending this staff's generally pathetic recruiting efforts, but we did sign 4 DL last year (Gentry, Hollie, Lawler, and Minor). Also I wonder if Natour, Pursley, or even Hyder could potentially switch over to the DL

quality DL will always be the toughest get for any G5 program. Always has been, always will.

we have to take projects or turn OLs into DLs most years, unless we actually aggressively recruit.

We have a lot of DE's but not many DT's.

as with many schools DEs grow into NGs

Not usually at 6'4" or 6'5" because they would have a tough time getting leverage in that area.

Right now, Bo is projected to play O tackle.

So they only have 2 years to teach him OT. It will be interesting to see how that turns out. Also. looks like Wilkerson will play wide receiver.
