3. TOP SMU PLAYERS
Best SMU Offensive Player
WR James Proche, Sr.
The 5-11, 190-pound senior exploded with a First Team All-AAC run catching 93 passes for 1,199 yards and 12 scores scores. Fast, consistent, and quick on the outside, he roared down the stretch with 23 catches for 317 yards and three scores in the last two games, and with four games overall with 11 grabs or more. He’s a true No. 1 target who could’ve left early for the NFL, but is back and is in the mix for the Biletnikoff.

Best SMU Defensive Player
LB Richard Moore, Sr.
At 6-0 and 230 pounds, he’s a big body on the inside of the linebacking corps  who led the team with 92 tackles after transferring over from Texas A&M. Not just a big hitter against the run, Moore is a good pass rusher, too, coming up with five sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss. Once he got comfortable, he came on late in the season closing out with four straight double-digit tackling performances with 45 stops in the last month.
