A-State Still Looking to Add to 2022 Roster
Apparently A-State is still 3-4 players short of 85 and would like to add some transfers in the "trenches" on both sides of the ball.
Butch Jones has said he will not take just anyone, and is willing to hold the scholarships for next year, but improving play in the trenches was a priority after 2021, and the staff is know to be looking to add some players late.
If they don't I posted this rather detailed look at the freshmen on their roster that might have to help them on Hogville:
If they don't add those critical 3-4 linemen though the Portal or JC, look for these freshmen to be inline for key roles, if they are still on the roster:

Some talented youngsters, but young is the operative word. Better if they don't have to play key roles in 2022. If they are not on campus now, Butch needs to find those 3-4 transfers ASAP. If he does 2022 could be a sold season.
Now that should conclude my look at their talent going into the 2022 season, and look forward to reading about the other SBC teams.
