Mcclain now enters a condition exactly where Sun Belt Freshman of the Calendar year Jaylen Raynor, who threw for above 2,500 yards, is the arguably clear starting off quarterback. Continue to, Mcclain provides robust depth at the position with multiple years of eligibility remaining backing up Raynor who is just a sophomore.
On the defensive side of factors, the Wolves introduced in defensive again Adrian Cole. Final year for the FIU Panthers, Cole experienced 30 total tackles, 16 solo tackles, 14 assisted tackles, and recovered a single fumble for a landing in the season’s remaining game.
Cole brings a lot of practical experience having played in the ACC with Syracuse and the Group of Five. Cole was just one of the initial transfers who joined FIU head coach Mike MacIntyre when he was employed.
The newest defensive again will have just just one yr of eligibility remaining but will join an Arkansas Point out protection that is coming off a time the place they ended up toward the center of the pack in the Solar Belt in most workforce statistics.
Arkansas Point out will open the 2024 season on August 31 when they host Central Arkansas.
