SMU football hopes to get a commitment from a player who could one day be a starting defensive back for the Mustangs. Some go straight from high school to a Division I program, while others begin at Division II or Division III schools. That is exactly where San Bernardino Valley College defensive back Jordan Ward finds himself now, making the most of the opportunity Wolverines head coach James Griffin gave him. One program that has taken notice is SMU, which offered Ward on Sunday after he spoke with Director of Defensive Personnel Jeremiah Wait.
