Duncanville ATH Zachery Turner commits to SMU over Miami
2026 Duncanville (Tex.) athlete Zachery Turner has committed to SMU over Miami, Oklahoma and Pittsburgh, he announced on Saturday. The 6-2, 200-pounder becomes the 21st commitment for the Mustangs.
With his commitment out of the way, Turner can now focus on having another big season as a senior. As a junior, he caught 58 passes for 933 yards and 16 touchdowns as the Panthers reached the Texas 6A D-I state semifinals.
The Duncanville High pipeline is strong with SMU and with the 2024 season the Mustangs put together, that catches his eye.
“It stands out a lot because they have some Duncanville players up there,” Turner said earlier this year. “It (the season) means a lot. They had a real good season.”
