Arkansas State Red Wolves preview 2026 football season under Butch Jones
Summary

The Arkansas State Red Wolves, under head coach Butch Jones, aim to build on recent success as they enter the 2026 season. The team looks to extend its streak of three consecutive bowl appearances while facing competition in the stronger Sun Belt. Key questions center around the quarterback situation and defense, which must improve after allowing over 400 yards per game last year. The Red Wolves' offense will rely on returning players like running back Devin Spencer and a mostly intact offensive line to bolster their performance. The season kickoff is set for September 6, 2026.
