SMU Edge Coach Shines on 40 Under 40 List | SMU Mustang Football News
Description
Sam Dunnam, SMU’s edge coach, just earned major recognition by landing on Dave Campbell’s Texas Football 40 Under 40 list for 2026 — the fifth straight year an SMU coach has made the cut. His leadership helped turn SMU’s defense into a national powerhouse last season, leading to a nine-win campaign and their first bowl victory since 2012. Players like Isaiah Smith and Cameron Robertson thrived under his guidance, setting career highs and earning All-ACC honors before heading to the NFL. Dunnam’s rise continues with his selection to the AFCA’s 35 Under 25 Coaches Leadership Institute — proof he’s building something special and climbing fast in the coaching world.
