Former SMU receiver with real career production, but not a current 2026 roster piece
Billy Ford’s SMU résumé shows a steady, reliable target from 1999-2002, finishing with 48 catches for 525 yards and 2 touchdowns, plus 13 rushing attempts for 13 yards in his SMU career[4]. The differentiator was versatility more than flash: he contributed as a receiver and occasional runner, giving the offense a dependable all-around option[4]. If you’re evaluating him as a current fit, the key catch is that the available public records point to an older SMU player, not a 2026 Mustangs receiver on the current depth chart[1][4][6].
