SMU has added a fast-rising former high school play caller to their support staff, according to a report today.
Mike Roach of 247, shares that former North Texas staffer Matthew McHugh is now working on Rhett Lashlee's staff at SMU.
There, he is set to serve as director of player personnel, the report adds.
A former high school offensive coordinator in the state, McHugh spent time calling the offense at Crowley HS (TX) before taking a position on staff at North Texas, where he served as the Mean Green's director of recruiting.
He joins a staff at SMU coming off an 11-3 debut season as an ACC member, where they lost to Clemson in a tight ACC title game. That was followed by a 38-10 loss to Penn State in the first round of the College Football Playoff.
Despite the disappointment of the two losses to end last season, SMU has proven themselves an emerging program in the expanded college football playoff, and the Mustangs bring back their entire coaching staff ready for a chance to run it back in 2025.
