ASU looks to replace key cogs

JONESBORO -- From the arrival of new Coach Butch Jones to the introduction of recently named Athletic Director Tom Bowen, change has been common at Arkansas State University since the conclusion of the 2020 football season.

That turnover extends to the Red Wolves' offense.

ASU enters 2021 missing five starters from an offense that finished No. 14 in the nation with 489.7 yards per game. Those departures include 2020's top pass catcher Jonathan Adams and last season's leading rusher Jamal Jones, leaving Jones and offensive coordinator Keith Heckendorf searching this spring for new offensive cogs.

"We're starting from ground zero in figuring out who our playmakers are," Jones said.
