Out for remainder of 2023 season Stone is out for the remainder of SMU's 2023 season due to a broken fibula, Guerry Smith of The New Orleans Advocate reports.

Impact Stone was carted off SMU's game Saturday against Navy, and head coach Rhett Lashlee confirmed the worst for his injured quarterback. He will sit out the 2023 AAC Championship Game with a broken fibula, which may affect his availability during the 2024 offseason and regular season as well. Stone broke out in 2023, finishing the year with 206 completions for 3,204 yards and a 28:6 TD:INT ratio. On the ground, he also completed 62 carries for 198 yards and four touchdowns, totaling more than 30 TDs overall in the process. As for the AAC Championship Game against Tulane on Saturday, Kevin Jennings will be SMU's starting quarterback.

Productive in Saturday's win Stone completed 15 of 23 passes for 286 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 38-34 win over Memphis. He also had eight rushes for 10 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Stone accounted for three touchdowns in Saturday's win, the fifth time in his last six games he has done so. It was a massive win for Stone and the Mustangs as now the team just needs to defeat Navy Saturday in the regular season finale to secure a spot in the AAC Championship Game. The Midshipmen have given up just 11 points per game in their last five games (including two shutouts) so it will not be a cakewalk for Stone and the offense.

In addtion to his second 300-yard passing game, he had his best rushing game, tying his season high with 25 rushing yards and scoring his second rushing touchdown of the season. Next up he faces a Tulsa defense which just allowed 42 points to Rice, so Stone will look to keep his hot streak alive Saturday.

Healthy for spring Stone (collarbone) will be healthy for spring football, according to 247Sports.com.

Impact SMU's head coach Rhett Lashlee said Stone is "fully healthy" now, his first time such since before his collarbone was fractured. It is expected to be Stone's first spring as a starter, a spot that was left open for him after Tanner Mordecai announced his transfer to Wisconsin just before 2023.

Set to back up Mordecai Stone will open the season as Tanner Mordecai's backup, Joseph Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact SMU has ended its quarterback competition for the time being as the season approaches and the new coaching staff will stick with Mordecai behind center. Coach Rhett Lashlee stated that Stone will still have a role so he could see more series than most backups, but that likely won't be enough to put him on the fantasy radar as long as Mordecai is performing at a high level.

QB competition continuing into fall Stone will continue to challenge Tanner Mordecai for the starting quarterback job in fall camp, Billy Embody of On3.com reports.

Impact Stone appears to still be in the mix to win the starting job as a redshirt freshman despite Tanner Mordecai's impressive 2021 campaign under center. The fact that Mordecai has just one season left and Stone as plenty more ahead may work against Stone, but he appears set to get a look in fall camp before a final decision is made.
