Arkansas State prepares for 2026 with quarterback transition

Arkansas State is coming off a 7-6 2025 season and enters 2026 with Butch Jones in year six. The Red Wolves must replace their starting quarterback but return notable contributors Chauncy Cobb and Kenyon Clay, with the season opening at Memphis on September 5. Memphis brings a new coach, a transfer-heavy roster, a Week Zero win, and a stadium debut, but no substantive Arkansas State personnel or injury update has been confirmed.
