Cole Leinart Commits to SMU as Future Football Star

Cole Leinart, a junior quarterback from Redondo Union High School in California, has committed to Southern Methodist University (SMU). The son of Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart, he chose SMU over offers from Colorado, Arizona, and Utah. Cole began his high school career at Mater Dei High School before transferring to Newport Harbor and then to Redondo Union, where he made his debut this fall after setbacks with transfer rules. Leinart expressed his excitement for the culture and open offense at SMU, stating that the program feels like family. His commitment marks the beginning of a potential legacy in college football as he continues his father's tradition in the sport.
