SMU is adding a defensive lineman form the Pac-12 to its program. Stanford defensive lineman Mike Williams announced on Twitter he is heading closer to home to play for SMU this fall.
Thank GOD! Grateful for the people that paved the way to make this opportunity possible for me 🐎⬆️

As a graduate transfer, Williams will be eligible to play this fall for the Mustangs. As such, he will immediately add some depth to the SMU defensive front. Williams is from Fort Worth, so getting a chance to come play closer to home may have been enticing for his final year of eligibility. He should be expected to compete for some meaningful playing time right away once he arrives at SMU.
SMU had three seniors on the defensive line last season, so the position is a key area of concern beginning this spring. Williams was a starter for the Cardinal last season. Williams recorded 24 tackles with six tackles for a loss and one sack for Stanford in 2019.
