SMU landed a PWO pledge from defensive end Matthew Baer, a 6-1, 230-pounder from Regis Jesuit High School in Aurora, Colorado.
Baer first reported the PWO offer back in September. Less than two months later, he agreed to join the Mustangs -- and he could be a player to watch. In three varsity seasons, he's compiled 183 tackles (37.0 for loss), 17.0 sacks and 56.0 quarterback hurries.
"I've dreamed of this day for a long time," Baer wrote in a social media message.
Baer had 91 tackles (22 tackles for loss) and 12.5 sacks as a junior last season. He also has 26 quarterback hurries. This season, through five games, Baer has 31 tackles, a fumble recovery and two forced fumbles.
