When Forrest Gregg welcomed SMU's first recruiting class to campus since 1986, he knew that they were a special group of young men. One of those talented young men was a kid from Farmington Hills, Michigan named Jason Wolf. What Gregg and the rest of the SMU community probably did not expect was that Wolf would end his career at SMU as the all-time pass catcher in the history of the Southwest Conference. In 1992, Wolf set the new record, one that will never be broken since the SWC has since disbanded. Wolf's accomplishments solidified his spot in SWC history, and we honor him now with a place on our list of the 90 Greatest Moments in SMU Football History.

Wolf was a very highly coveted receiver coming out of Brother Rice High School in Detroit, Michigan. Wolf turned down offers from several football powerhouses such as Michigan, Michigan State, and UCLA. He even told Michigan assistant, now head coach, Lloyd Carr that he would have to tell Coach Bo Schembechler that he wasn't accepting Michigan's offer.

He made an immediate impact his freshman year when he caught an NCAA freshman record 61 passes in 1989. Over the course of four seasons, Wolf astounded Mustang fans with his ability to make the crucial catches, a majority of them on third down conversions. He set the all-time SWC mark in the second-to-last game of his career at Texas. He made a diving catch good for two yards against the Longhorns for his 221st of his career, breaking the previous record of 220 held by Houston's Manny Hazard.

The following week he put considerable distance between himself and Hazard hauling in a personal best 14 receptions against Arkansas. It was just one short of the SMU record set by Jerry LeVias against Ohio State in 1968. He finished his career with 2,232 yards receiving, which ranks 4th among SMU career leaders and 11th in the all-time SWC annals. Wolf had four of the top 10 seasons for catches in SMU history.

Jason Wolf proved in his four years that he was as consistent a player as a coach could ask for. He set a new SWC mark, catching a pass in 42 straight games. The only game in his SMU career when he didn't catch a pass was the first versus Rice in 1989. He also missed the 1990 opener versus Vanderbilt with an ankle injury. He finished as the 8th leading receiver in NCAA history with 235 catches. Wolf's outstanding career has earned him a place on our list of the 90 Greatest Moments in SMU Football History.â..
