SMU’s steady, academic-minded edge setter with a blue-collar profile
In SMU’s 2007-2008-era roster bio, Josh Geldert was a 6-foot-3, 230-pound defensive end who was noted as an Academic Team member, a two-year starter in prep, and someone who had already seen game action against Texas Tech, which points to a high-IQ, dependable player rather than a flashy stat-sheet monster.[1] The fit here is pretty straightforward: if you want discipline, toughness, and a role player who understands leverage and assignment football, he checks boxes; if you want a headline-grabbing sack artist, the available SMU bio doesn’t show that kind of production.[1]
