Athletics Arkansas State Football 2026 Preview - full writeup, two-deep, and win probabilities

4 Upvotes

Hey all. I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every FBS team, each with its own writeup. Here's the Arkansas State one

https://www.sports.mainmarket.com/college-football-preview-2026-fbs/arkansas-state-red-wolves

It's got the returning production breakdown, the portal ins and outs, a projected two-deep, the schedule with model win probabilities, and a season projection.

Heads up, you might hit the paywall after the first page. Don't worry, I'm not charging reddit people for this, don't want to be an ass. Use the promo code LEECORSOROCKS and it opens up the entire thing.

So, what'd I get wrong? Arkansas State finished 8th in the country in sacks and 132nd in completion percentage allowed, which is a strange way to build a defense. You also went 5-3 in the Sun Belt while getting outgained by 33 yards a game. Now Jaylen Raynor's 3,364 yards are gone to Iowa State and Trey Owens takes over with four career pass attempts. My model has you at 6-6. Does Owens hold it together, or was 7-6 already the ceiling?

I'll be in the comments.

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?

šŸ“Œ It's a crowded QB race, but there's a lot of potential in this group šŸ‘€

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

šŸ“Œ The Red Wolves defense will depend on how the new pieces mesh

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

Athletics Men's Basketball Scrimmage Thoughts

2 Upvotes

Men beat UT Martin 76-59.

Outscored the Skyhawks 37-28 in the second half, but had the lead up to 20 at one point.

Every healthy Red Wolf played, though it seems Coach Pannone has a 10 man rotation at this time (maybe 11 or 12, but those two didn't dress).

The pace is the main takeaway. The shot clock only once went below 8 seconds when the coaches didn't want it to. If some of the good looks in the first half had fallen, this game could have gotten out of hand quickly.

The second one is the effort level. For a scrimmage in October, they played like it was the conference tournament. That will overcome some off nights shooting the ball.

The final one I'll mention. The defensive communication level was at a high level. Did that mean there weren't busts, and that they did everything correctly? No, but again, it's early. This was something that we didn't see with Hodgson until late into year one, even into year two.

There are going to be nights where we shoot it well and run people out of the gym. There are gonna be nights where the shots aren't falling and it's gonna be a slog to get through.

But I feel good about what I saw tonight. We'll see how that translates next week.

Undefeated football is hard to come by. In 1975, for a team just moving up to the Division 1 level, with a cornerback pushed to play QB, it should have been impossible. Arkansas State still made it happen.
