Arkansas State University football Coach Blake Anderson's future in Jonesboro gained more security Friday.
ASU announced that Anderson's contract was given a three-year extension through 2023 and restructured.
"Due to our unprecedented FBS success under a head coach with Blake's tenure, we started the process before the 2019 season to extend his contract. During this process, it gave us an opportunity to restructure his contract as well to be more beneficial for all parties," ASU Athletic Director Terry Mohajir said in a news release. "We believe this strengthens the continuity for our emerging football brand with Blake serving as a strong leader for our young guys in their athletics and academic pursuits.
