JONESBORO -- Jake Swalley and five other junior-college transfers entered the Arkansas State locker room almost two years ago with a clear directive -- there were jobs available, and someone needed to take them.
They did what they were told.
Swalley, a defensive tackle who transferred from Highland (Kan.) Community College, was one of six transfers to sign with ASU in December 2014. Today, five of them will play their final games at Centennial Bank Stadium when ASU (4-4, 4-0) hosts New Mexico State (2-6, 1-3) at 2 p.m.
"It seems like just yesterday that I committed," Swalley said this week.
