Size, Speed, and Upside in SMU’s Secondary
Dante Wesley II is a 6-foot, 196-pound junior cornerback at SMU who has the frame and developmental runway coaches love, and he has steadily added weight since arriving in 2024.[1][12] He saw action in one game as a freshman in 2024, and while public stat lines are still sparse, his value is more about projection: length, physicality, and room to grow into a reliable cover man than flashy numbers.[6][4] If a team wants a young DB with SEC-style build and upside, Wesley is the kind of bet worth making.
