The Dallas Morning News SMU pulled off an upset over a pair of Big 12 programs this weekend, receiving a pledge from one of the state's top defensive players. He considered Angelo State and Southwest Texas State as well.
Oral commitments are non-binding.
The first day a recruit can sign a national letter of intent is Feb. 7. Thrweatt, a member of The News ' Top 100 state recruiting list, said a new stadium and SMU's location played a big part in his decision. In Dallas, there's something to do every day. Thrweatt posted four sacks and two fumble recoveries as a senior, helping Midland Lee to a third straight Class 5A state title. The addition of Thrweatt and Miller gives the Mustangs 17 commitments.
