The Arkansas State football team held its first practice of the season Thursday inside the Student Activity Center, and Coach Blake Anderson announced the new additions to the team.
Defensive back Jai Knight from Hahnville, La., wide receiver Chris Murray from Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College and offensive lineman Jamal Fontenot from Kilgore (Texas) College have joined the team.
“It was a good day,” Anderson said. “The guys had a lot of bounce in their step, which you would expect. We stayed off the ground, and we had some good competition out there. We were able to work the nerves out and move on.”
ASU will practice at 9 a.m. each day through Monday before taking off Tuesday.
