SMU RB Coach - "Jaylan is hard-nosed, downhill, and you don't think that because 182 lbs, but he's a tough football player who runs violent and mean" That perfectly sums up the blessing & curse of Knighton. Gotta respect his toughness, but a 180 lb RB who has the running style of a 250 lb FB...

Camar Wheaton played at SMU last year. If SMU gets LJ Johnson - there's a very real possibility Knighton just transferred into a more talented backfield

100% agree. What I think Smith has going for him is - Smith & X came in as #600/700 type recruits, and both rose up over much higher rates WR's like Wiggins/Pope/Redding/Worsham/Brinson/George, etc. So Smith will have competition, but he's already overcome more (on paper) competition at Miami...

I may just have a higher opinion on Smith than most. IMO he's flashed more than other guys still here like Ladson/Redding/George/Smith. That's the toughest group to outperform though 2021 - He was our #3/4 WR behind Rambo & Harley. His numbers were basically the same as X. 2022 - He was...

I don't think Smith & Knighton are dime a dozen at SMU. They're the type of talents any G5 team would love to have. I'd expect both to be pretty big contributors at SMU next year.

You're not joking. Think it's fair to say our players were big fans of Lashlee

I 100% agree Lashlee used/schemed Knighton much better overall - but it also skewed largely in the passing game. To be fair, with Knighton's straightforward power running style at 190lbs - I don't really think there's a way in the run game for Lashlee, Gattis, or any OC to "scheme" Knighton...

I respect both you guys and IMO both you are correct - it's just important with Knighton to break out his rushing & receiving Rushing - Lashlee - 200 carries - 3.9 ypc & 1 30+ yd run (long of 40 yds). Averaged 4.0 ypc playing with RPO QB (2020 King) & 3.9 ypc with pocket QB (2021 TVD) - Gattis...

2 ironic things in this thread that are pretty funny 1) People swearing over an over Laslee's "he only had one run play" straight up the middle was to blame for Knighton's poor production. Then Knighton transfers back into Lashlee's offense. Pretty much kills that argument 2) People still...
