SMU’s Durable, Dual-Threat Workhorse
Kris Briggs stood out at SMU as a productive, physical back who handled a heavy workload and added value as a receiver, finishing his four-season Mustang career with 2,080 rushing yards, 409 receiving yards, and 16 total touchdowns. He earned WAC Offensive Player of the Week honors, which points to game-changing upside when featured. For a team, his appeal is the combination of toughness, versatility, and proven production rather than raw flash: he looks like the kind of back who can stay on schedule, protect the ball, and contribute in multiple phases.[1][2]
