Listen "Behind the Blueprint: Jeremiah Wait, Director of Defensive Personnel & NFL Liaison, SMU"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Behind the Blueprint, I sit down with Jeremiah Wait, Director of Defensive Personnel and NFL Liaison at SMU. We talk about SMU’s rise into the ACC, how the program has built strong recruiting pipelines in Texas, and why retention has become a key strength in today’s transfer era. Jeremiah also shares lessons from his mentors, what he looks for in defensive players, and his philosophy of “controlling the controllables.” It’s a deep dive into the unseen grind behind SMU’s success.
