After a dynamic freshman season and the adversity of three coaching changes in his career, JD McKissic could've taken his talents beyond Jonesboro, Arkansas.
But instead, he stayed put, battled the obstacles and built one of the greatest careers in Arkansas State football history, setting multiple single-season and career records during his four-year stint from 2012-15. As a result, he will be enshrined in the A-State Hall of Honor on Friday, Oct. 25, at the 44th-annual banquet at the Woodard McAlister Family Club inside the Johnny Allison Tower of Centennial Bank Stadium.
McKissic noted that, while his numbers and accolades alone are Hall of Honor-caliber, and he believed he would be in one day, he was still humbled and honored when former teammate Taylor Stockemer delivered the news over the summer.
