SMU Football is showing the priority Dallas is by hitting the area high schools hard all week in recruiting with coaches on the road. The Mustangs extended some new offers and will stop in to see some commitments as well.

SMU offered 2025 Denton (Tex.) Ryan offensive lineman Marcus Garcia on Wednesday, jumping into the mix for the four-star prospect.
