JONESBORO -- Arkansas State University Coach Blake Anderson made it clear the starting quarterback job was Logan Bonner's to lose at the beginning of fall camp in August.
Much has transpired over the ensuing months. A season-ending injury to the thumb on Bonner's throwing hand sidelined him for the final nine games of 2019. Former Pulaski Academy star Layne Hatcher stepped in as a redshirt freshman and led ASU to a 6-3 record and Camellia Bowl victory while becoming the Sun Belt freshman of the year.
As the Red Wolves opened spring practice Monday in Jonesboro, Bonner was fully healthy and throwing the ball with the same zip he had in the first four games of 2019, when he put up 1,052 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, 1 interception and a 59.
