SMU offers Texas State TE transfer Micah Hilts
SMU Football offered Texas State tight end transfer Micah Hilts, he announced on Twitter on Tuesday. The 6-5, 255-pounder will have one year of eligibility remaining.
He played in 10 games with 13 receptions for 174 yards and a touchdown in the 2019 season before sitting out as a medical redshirt in 2020.
In his freshman year in 2019, he tore his ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) before halftime in the season opener at Texas A&M. He fought through it and kept playing all season while wearing a brace. In 2020 as a sophomore, he tore his pectoral muscle in the first week of fall camp.
He returned in 2021 to play 11 games, grabbing three balls for 13 yards. In 2021, he played in six games with one reception for 12 yards.
The Colorado Springs, Colo. native would fit the mold of a big-bodied blocking tight end SMU is after in the NCAA Transfer Portal. The Mustangs have All-AAC Freshman RJ Maryland returning at the position, but not much proven depth behind him.
