While most students were soaking up the sun this summer, our dedicated SMU student-athletes were hard at work, balancing academics with athletic pursuits. Their unwavering commitment to excellence is truly inspiring. 

We’re thrilled to highlight the extraordinary achievements of four exceptional individuals who have made significant strides this summer.

Her ability to blend creativity with a deep understanding of industry trends is truly inspiring. In the past academic year, she has found her fashion courses have only strengthen her passion for fashion media. Jaclynn’s athletic achievements from 2024 include: all-conference honors in team diving and the 3-meter. She is expected to graduate in Spring 2025. 

Balancing Act Extraordinaire: Jaelyn “Smoke” Davis-Robinson 

Juggling rigorous football camp and two summer language classes and a dance class; is no easy feat, but Jaelyn “Smoke” Davis-Robinson has done it with style and grace. His dedication to both academics and athletics is a testament to his humble, hardworking character. He was in the ADSA study hall everyday this summer, ensuring that he was able to get his Spanish homework completed before his football commitment.  

Overcoming Challenges with Strength: Sandra Magolico 

Sandra Magolico, a senior forward from Arizona State, has faced her fair share of challenges as an international student this summer. Despite these setbacks, she has persevered and excelled in her three summer classes. Her determination and commitment to her education are truly admirable. 

Leading the Way: Chance Johnson 

Born in Mustang, Oklahoma, Chance was fated to be a Mustang. As a junior goalkeeper, he leads his teammates on and off the field. He has been vocal about his involvement in the BSAC social, and has been instrumental in fostering a positive team culture. Chance is majoring in a Bachelor of Science in Economics and Financial Applications and a minor in Sports Management. He is on track to graduate in Fall 2025. 

These students are shining examples of what it means to be a Mustang. Their hard work, dedication, and perseverance inspire us all. We’re excited to see what they will accomplish in the upcoming academic year!
