SMU Mustangs have hired former Maryland Athletic Director Damon Evans who was previously Georgia's Athletic Director before his time in Maryland.
Evans spent over two decades at his alma mater Georgia, serving as its Athletic Director from 2004-10. The Bulldogs won 13 national championships and 19 SEC titles during Evans’ time in Athens. Evans resigned from the position after he was arrested for a DUI.
The former Georgia wide receiver was the SEC’s first Black Athletic Director and managed the largest operating profit among college athletic programs. Evans caught 23 passes for 260 yards during his Georgia football career from 1990-1992.
