SMU QB Preston Stone

[ricko654321]

A couple sources are saying that Preston Stone, the current backup QB at SMU (and starter last year) might be coming to Northwestern. He’s staying with SMU through the CFP which I respect, which could be a reason for him to wait to declare his decision. We will see.

3197 yards, 28 TD, and 6 Int in 2023 sounds pretty decent to me. Hope we land him to have more competition at the QB spot next year.

High school offers from…
Alabama
Ohio State
Georgia
Michigan
and most everyone else.

Looks like he’d be in final year of eligibility, but maybe rules have changed…


SMU’s starter this year is Kevin Jennings, who was recruited the year after Stone and apparently just beat him out this past offseason.

I think he has 2 years of eligibility left - he played less than 4 games his first year. Would be a huge get. We need to get it done!

Technically he’s played three seasons plus a redshirt year, leaving him with one year eligibility. But he could apply for an additional medical redshirt year, and if approved, would get one more year.

That would be awesome news (if true).

Interesting comparison with Pribula, the Penn State backup who left the team when he entered the portal. What if Stone tears up his knee in the playoffs? Who will want him? I reckon Stone is getting lots of money to stick around. And I reckon that SMU will try to knock Allar out of the game…

He was the starter all last year with outstanding stats. The article I read said that SMU’s QB this year is just even better, i.e. playoff team caliber. If Stone is merely a little below that, it would likely be a significant upgrade. no idea what his physical tools are, but seems more similar to Ben Bryant situation, an all year starting QB for a highly successful team that was transitioning to power 4 conference play.

He’s got one year left, is going to try to get a second via medical hardship but it’s an extreme longshot.
