When Arkansas State University begins its season Sept. 4 hosting the University of Central Arkansas, the Red Wolves will have more than 50 new faces on their roster. With transfers, freshmen from the Class of 2021 and walk-ons, ASU has been transformed under first-year Coach Butch Jones.
"Roster management has been at the forefront of building the program," Jones said. "I've been really pleased and really impressed with our current team. The way they've embraced our newcomers and our culture -- our mentality, our capacity for work."
The Red Wolves are under the leadership of Jones and his staff after a 4-7 finish during Blake Anderson's seventh and final season in Jonesboro.
