Troy Therien gives SMU a rotational edge with proven DE depth
Troy Therien is a veteran SMU defensive end whose value shows up in the kind of line depth coaches love: reliable, experienced, and built to keep the pass rush fresh. SMU’s 2005 preview specifically highlighted Therien as one of the reasons the Mustangs expected more production from the defensive end spot, noting he could “make an impact” and fit into a deeper, more flexible rotation. That profile makes him a fit for a team that wants steady edge work, not just splash plays.
