Jeffrey M’ba brought NFL-level power to SMU’s interior
In the 2025 season, Jeffrey M’ba was a disruptive, high-motor force for SMU, starting 12 games and posting 42 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, and 5.0 sacks, production that earned honorable mention All-ACC recognition. He stands out for rare size and power at defensive tackle, with sources describing him as a gap-clogger who can overwhelm blockers and hold up against double teams. The fit is obvious for teams needing an anchor inside: he is a proven impact player, though still more of a power-and-effort defender than a polished technician.
