Arkansas State University

The Arkansas State Red Wolves represent Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, embodying excellence in scarlet and black. Competing in NCAA Division I’s Sun Belt Conference, the Red Wolves boast a storied legacy highlighted by the 1970 NCAA College Division National Championship football team’s perfect 11-0 season. Continuous success includes multiple Sun Belt football championships, notably three consecutive titles from 2011 to 2013. Track and field is a historic strength, producing Olympic medalists like Al Joyner (gold, triple jump), Earl Bell (bronze, pole vault), and Thomas Hill (silver, 110-meter hurdles), with world record holder Jeff Hartwig and two-time Olympian Kellie Suttle continuing this legacy of elite competition. Arkansas State’s rugby program shines with back-to-back USA Rugby Sevens National Championships (2012, 2013) and a three-year unbeaten streak, underscoring their dominance beyond traditional sports. The passionate fan base fills Centennial Bank Stadium in support of a program combining sustained athletic achievement, Olympic pedigree, and a broad culture of championship pride.
