REVEALED: Can New DC Maurice Crum Jr. UNLOCK SMU's Linebacker Core?

SMU Mustangs' linebacker room emerges as a potential difference-maker for 2026, with defensive coordinator Maurice Crum Jr. poised to unlock new levels of aggression and playmaking from Alexander Kilgore, Brandon Booker, and Brandon Myiazono. Can a revitalized linebacker corps shore up SMU’s pass coverage and elevate the Mustangs’ defense to ACC elite status? Grayson Singleton discusses Jaron Pierre Jr.’s NBA draft selection by the New Orleans Pelicans, breaking down his strengths as a scorer and the challenges he faces converting into a true 3-and-D contributor at the next level. Plus, the show explores college football’s contentious salary cap debate—should the cap favor SEC and Big Ten mega-spenders, or protect athlete compensation across all conferences? Singleton weighs in on the future of NIL deals, roster limits, and the evolving economics of college athletics. Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
