SMU’s seasoned defensive back with a grinder’s resume
Ben Furgal brings veteran CB experience to SMU, with a career that has steadily moved from linebacker to defensive back and shows real versatility and football IQ. The clear appeal is his multi-year development in the program, plus the kind of toughness and discipline coaches love in a depth-chart stabilizer or special-teams/value-add piece. He’s not a flashy headline machine, but he looks like a reliable, system-fit defender who can handle assignment football and add maturity to a secondary.
