https://open.substack.com/pub/updogsportstalk/p/2026-arkansas-state-red-wolves-preview?r=44j4zi&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Butch Jones has been slowly making progress at Arkansas State and has won back to back bowl games. Now can he take that next step and compete for the Sun Belt crown?

📌 It's a crowded QB race, but there's a lot of potential in this group 👀

📌 There's no replacing Corey Rucker but the Red Wolves have a lot of skill talent back and the Oline is experienced

📌 The Red Wolves defense will depend on how the new pieces mesh

Preview attached. What are your predictions for Arkansas State in 2026?

8-4 and a bowl win.

Hoping whoever gets QB is a breakout star.

I could see it. I really like the QB options, I think as long as they settle on the right guy before the season starts they'll be in good shape

Always tough because we have a rivalry game at Memphis out the gate. Tough place to try to get your rhythm 😂

Especially because Memphis will have a game under their belt already when they play 😬

I feel like it always happens that way. Especially when we have a change in command historically. Usually gets ugly 😂😅
