SMU’s February Frenzy: Shocking Coaching Moves and Unexpected Combine Surprises Shake Jerryworld

Jordan Hudson: Hudson transferred from TCU to the other side of the Iron Skillet and became an instant playmaker. He led, or tied for the lead, in receiving touchdowns in all three years at SMU, logging 130 receptions, 1,787 receiving yards, and 18 scores as a Mustang. Hudson took on an increased role in 2025 as the team’s clear WR1, returning from an early-season injury to manufacture 766 yards — the leading receiver of the nation’s 13th-ranked passing offense.

RJ Maryland: Maryland’s time at SMU spans Rhett Lashlee’s entire head coaching tenure. He drew significant attention during the Mustangs’ 2023 American Conference championship season with 518 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, thriving as a deep threat tight end. The 6’4”, 240 pound Maryland was limited by injuries during SMU’s CFP year but returned this past season as a potent receiving threat in a loaded offense.

Matthew Hibner: Hibner was a member of Michigan’s 2023 National Championship-winning team but transferred to SMU and instantly rose from a seldom-used player to a focal point of the offense. Hibner was essential when Maryland tore his ACL in October 2024, providing the Mustangs’ a capable tight end to lead their run to the CFP. He registered 368 yards and four touchdowns in 2024 and followed those stats up with 436 yards and four touchdowns in 2025, all while averaging 14.4 yards per catch.

Ahmaad Moses: Moses landed as a First Team All-ACC selection after a standout year featuring 104 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, five interceptions, and two fumble recoveries. The four-year Mustang improved each year in Dallas, and the peak of his powers were demonstrated in SMU’s November 2025 win over eventual national runner-up Miami (FL). In that contest, Moses totaled 15 tackles and a pair of interceptions, including the game-sealer in overtime.

The 2026 NFL Combine runs from Feb. 23 to Mar. 2 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
