We're continuing our four-part series looking back at SMU's past four classes. Here's a look back on the Mustangs' 2016 recruiting class:
Best player in the class
Demerick Gary, DE: A vocal leader on defense and one of Chad Morris' best pickups, Gary is a great pass rusher that can still do more.
Most surprising player in the class
Mikial Onu, CB: Onu tallied 59 tackles and an interception in 2018. He has out-performed many of the other defensive prospects from this class.
Most disappointing player in the class
Michael Badejo, LB: The highest ranked player of the class, Badejo left the program (personal reasons) prior to the 2018 season.
