Jones Goes After South Grand Prairie's DeWayne Peace

Southern Methodist University Head Football Coach June Jones is going after some of the top talent in the state and is focusing a lot of effort in the metroplex area.

One local athlete that recently received an offer from SMU is South Grand Prairie's Dewayne Peace.

Peace confirmed with PonyStampede.com Sunday night that he has interest in the Mustangs.

"I have two offers right now," Peace said. "SMU and Kansas have offered me so far, I definitely have a lot of interest in SMU."

Peace, a 6-foot-0, 180-pound athlete that runs a 4.49 forty is one of the area's top wide receivers. The stand out wide out ended his junior season with 285 yards and three touchdowns.

Peace has made one trip to the SMU campus this spring and came away impressed with the local campus.

"It was great, a very nice campus," Peace said. "I loved the great weight room. I will attend camp there this summer on the 14th."

One thing that impresses Peace about SMU is the Mustangs new offense under Coach Jones.

"That offense is a dream for any wide receiver to play in," Peace said. "It would also be cool to play close to home. If I needed to go home I could, and my parents could see me play every weekend."

Peace scored a 1,000 on the SAT as a sophomore but plans on taking it again, he currently holds a 3.39 G.P.A.

Hey Dewayne: JJ is known for positive reinforcement. A professional demeanor.

Here's the other guy that offered you:

Peace is getting faster. The first report on him said he ran a 4.7

I wouldn't be too concerned about that reported time. He ain't winning MVP awards at National and Regional events if he's not an outstanding athlete-that's what they are looking for at these camps much more than if he Joe "Technique" Stud.

I'm not too concerned, guessing 4.7 was probably "mis-remembered"

No he did indeed have a slow reported time on one of the services but its been changed to exactly 4.53 on the recruit page for both Scout and Rivals-so I'm assuming there is some verifiable report or basis for that time. The story above also says he has run a 4.49

called the kid "a hotdog"...coming from a man like Mangino, that could be fatal.

Nice, Woody Hayes is reincarnated as the 400 pound, heart attack waiting-to-happen head coach at the University of Kansas. What a jerk!

His offensive coordinator this fall will be former SMU OC Larry Kueck.

This Peace kid must be something. Lastest camps at which Peace has been described as a standout performer or MVP are the Oklahoma, A&M, Kansas and Michigan camps. Michigan is now his favorite and then Kansas. About a month and half ago nobody knew a thing about Peace after a mediocre Junior year-now he has about 15 offers and has been the "MVP" at about 10 camps.
