A day before the final scrimmage of fall practice, Arkansas State Coach Blake Anderson said the team continues to sort out certain position groups.
Justice Hansen remains the starting quarterback; the defensive line, led by defensive end and Sun Belt Conference Preseason Defensive Player of the Year Ja'Von Rolland-Jones, "has a chance to be the strongest group"; and preseason SBC second-team defensive back Blaise Taylor is "playing his best football."
But a suspension and a minor injury have kept the Red Wolves from solidifying linebacker and offensive line spots.

Senior linebacker Khari Lain was suspended for the 2017 season on July 31 for not meeting an NCAA policy during ASU's appearance in the 2016 Cure Bowl.
