SMU punter Sam Eccles is a developmental depth piece with upside
Sam Eccles is a redshirt freshman punter at SMU who has not appeared in a game yet, so his current value is more about projection than production. The main takeaway: he’s a young specialist in a program that already has recent punt performance on the roster, which suggests Eccles will need to win trust through consistency, hang time, and field-position control in practice before earning snaps. At this stage, he looks like a low-floor, potentially useful special-teams prospect rather than an immediate impact player.
