At the start of the new year, Armond Weh-Weh didn’t know whether he’d play football again.
Arkansas State University’s senior running back hadn’t yet heard back about the NCAA waiver he submitted in November, when Red Wolves Coach Blake Anderson said Weh-Weh would not return after attempting to play through a left ankle injury he suffered during preseason practice when his foot got rolled up during a tackle.
Weh-Weh, 6-0, 225 pounds, carried the ball twice in two games during the 2017 season, and he played two games in 2016 before he suffered an ACL injury in his right knee in a 51-14 loss at Auburn.
