Key'Shawn Smith News, Rumors, Updates - SMU Mustangs

Reels in touchdown in blowout Smith hauled in 2 of 4 targets for 48 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-6 victory against California.

Impact Smith found the end zone for the fourth time this season against the Golden Bears. Though he doesn't have one particular monster game this season, Smith has been extremely reliable with 30 grabs for 499 yards and five scores. He'll look to keep it up in the ACC title game against Clemson.

Sees season-high eight targets Smith accrued five receptions (on eight targets) for 61 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-28 victory over Boston College.

Impact Smith had been an impact player for SMU before the win over Boston College, but he was his most involved Saturday with a season-high eight targets and five catches. He also scored his fourth touchdown of the year. Mustangs' quarterback Kevin Jennings spread the ball out to a variety of eligibles, and Smith was one of the key benefactors.

Tallies 89 yards vs. Pitt Smith compiled three receptions (on four targets) for 89 yards during Saturday's 48-25 win against Pittsburgh.

Impact Smith's 89 yards were his most on the season. He hasn't been a high volume receiver for the Mustangs, but he can make the big play when his number is called. He'll look to carry over this momentum next week against Virginia.

Healthy production vs. Stanford Smith hauled in 4 of 5 targets for 76 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 40-10 victory over Stanford.

Impact Smith has now stacked good performances in back-to-back games. Last week against Louisville, he also caught four passes and scored. Smith could be slowly but surely building chemistry with quarterback Kevin Jennings, who has the Mustangs' offense operating smoothly this season. Smith will look to keep it going next week against Duke.

Biggest game yet vs. Louisville Smith reeled in 4 of 5 targets for 53 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 34-27 win versus Louisville.

Impact Smith had been relatively quiet in 2024, but his 53 yards were a season-high. His five targets were the second-most he's seen this season as well. Ultimately, Smith hasn't shown enough on a week-to-week basis to be a reliable fantasy option, but if he can continue to develop rapport with SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings, that could change as we near the second half of the season.

Leading receiver in loss Smith notched four receptions (on five targets) for 46 yards during Friday's 18-15 loss to Brigham Young.

Impact After posting just one catch in each of SMU's first two contests, Smith saw five targets and made the most of them. The Mustangs' passing attack figures to be rather choppy moving forward, as they're still playing both Kevin Jennings and Preston Stone at gunslinger. Regardless, it was a solid performance from Smith, who will try to continue to be a staple of the passing attack in Week 4 against TCU.

Scores on lone touch Smith reeled in their only target for 35 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 59-7 win over Houston Christian.

Impact Smith was only targeted once, but he turned that into a 35-yard touchdown catch. That should garner him more looks as the season wears on, but its not all that encouraging that in a blowout win, the receiver was only targeted once. Still, Smith should remain a big-play threat for the Mustangs moving forward if not a consistently reliable fantasy option.

Filmed practicing Smith (knee) was recently filmed practicing, according to SMU's X account.

Impact On Monday, SMU's X account posted a video of what appears to be recent practice highlights from the team. Seven seconds in was a catch from a No. 9, who happens to be Smith. That indicates he is healthy, giving SMU a fully healthy receiver corps going into August. Smith completes it having just earned his stripes with the Mustangs, whose 2023 team benefited from 25 receptions for 392 yards and three touchdowns he logged.

Lands Week 1 starting spot Smith has earned a starting spot on Miami's Week 1 depth chart, David Wilson and Susan Miller Degnan of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Smith was reportedly showing well during the portions of practice open to the media this fall and must have been doing the same when the media wasn't present. He's set to start alongside Mike Harley and Charleston Rambo at wideout, with Harley the clear leader of the trio entering the campaign.

Impressing in practices Smith has been running with the first team during the portions of practice that have been open to the media recently, Manny Navaro of The Athletic reports.

Impact Smith is a redshirt freshman that has been showing steady improvement. The coaching staff seems to be very impressed with his athleticism and ability to make big plays. There are still some things that he is working on according to receivers coach Rob Likens, but he could very well find himself in a larger role this season than initially thought if he can find steady playing time with quarterback D'Eriq King.
