Senior defensive end Nick Horton will wear a special number this season.
Every year, SMU awards a deserving student-athlete with the No. 23 to honor Jerry LeVias for his contributions to the country, community, football and SMU, and this fall, Horton will wear that number.
Tonight we honored Jerry Levias by awarding DE Nick Horton #23 - celebrating a great man and great tradition!
