Freshman answers call for Red Wolves
Arkansas State defensive back Derrick Bean (30) tries to stop Alabama running back Najee Harris during the second half Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Bean has eight tackles through ASU’s first two games, tying for fourth-most on the team and the most by a freshman.It was 5:30 a.m. and Derrick Bean put in the call.
Had the first two games of this season gone the way the 6-2, 226-pound Arkansas State University freshman linebacker had planned, a call like this would never have been necessary. As he once expected, Bean's freshman year would've been chalked up as a redshirt and a study session at sunrise would have been time better spent as extra sleep.
