In February, Ke’Mon Freeman was a man without a position. He had committed to SMU under the “athlete” label on the eve of National Signing Day as the 25th and final member of the Mustangs’ 2016 signing class.
SMU’s freshman class had plenty of hype long before any one of its members had played a college snap. Fans and recruiting analysts focused on Jordan Carmouche, Michael Badejo, Ken McLaurin and others, many of whom had spurned Power Five offers to play for SMU.
Few fans, though, said much about Ke’Mon Freeman.
For most of the recruiting process, the former FCS commit without a true position was only a well-kept secret of recruitniks and coaches.
