'How did we even get here?': SMU seniors leave lasting legacy

DALLAS -- SMU’s turnaround goes back to second period engineering class at Taylor High School in Katy. Safety Rodney Clemons, never much of an engineer, would go on the computer in his high school class and look up pictures of the SMU 2015 signing class on 247Sports. 

At the top of the list was a smiling wide receiver named James Proche, who picked SMU over multiple Power Five offers. Scroll down a little and you find Spring running back Xavier Jones, who turned down an offer from rising power Memphis to stay in the state.
