Arkansas State Red Wolves Gear Up for 2026 Season

Fall camp spotlights quarterback race, defensive battles, and special‑teams prospects ahead of a September kickoff

Fall Camp Begins at Arkansas State

Arkansas State University’s football program kicked off its 2026 fall camp on Wednesday morning, gathering players on the grass practice fields for a two‑hour workout that set the tone for the upcoming season.

Quarterback Competition and Offensive Overhaul

The coaching staff has placed the quarterback battle at the center of practice, pairing returning skill players with a new offensive coordinator whose scheme promises a more dynamic and balanced attack.

Defensive Battles in the Secondary

Several defensive positions are already in flux, especially in the secondary where experienced players are competing for starting spots, aiming to tighten a unit that showed vulnerability in the previous campaign.

Special Teams Outlook

The special‑teams unit features a Preseason All‑American candidate and an open punter competition, while a familiar coordinator brings continuity to the group’s preparation.

Season Opener and Paint The Town Red Weekend

The Red Wolves will open the season on September 5 at Memphis before hosting West Georgia on September 12, and the campus will celebrate Paint The Town Red Weekend with a pregame concert by country star Lauren Alaina.
