SMU’s steady depth receiver with academic polish and local roots
In the 2025 season, Keaton Cheves remains a depth wideout for SMU, with career production of 2 catches for 7 yards and no touchdowns, so the value here is more about role, reliability, and upside than volume. The 5-foot-11 Dallas native is a hometown product who has been praised for his academic consistency and fit in the program, and his path suggests a grinder’s profile rather than a flash-only one. If a team wants a smart, developmental receiver with work ethic and no obvious baggage, he’s the kind of player who earns a look.
