Arkansas State Continues Hot Streak, adds Louisiana TE Javonis Isaac

Written by Ryan Wright

No team in college football has been hotter on the recruiting trail than Arkansas State. Over the past four days the Red Wolves have secured 11 verbal commitments with Tuesday’s pledge from tight end Javonis Isaac.

In 2014 Isaac helped Acadiana to a 12-4 record that included a 23-7 win over Destrehan in the Louisiana High School State Championship Game. A couple of schools took notice of Isaac but few saw the potential in the Lafayette area talent that the Red Wolves did.

Isaac made the announcement official on Twitter posting, “Arkansas State bound to help BUILD A MONSTER!!! #WolvesUp #BuildingAMonster.”

Over the weekend Arkansas State hosted several recruits to their Jonesboro campus which paid off big dividends seeing 11 players commit. Isaac’s commitment pushes ASU to 17 verbal commitments to their 2016 recruiting class.

A recruiting note worth mentioning, of the 17 commitments 13 are slated to play on the offensive side of the ball. Of the 13 six are wide receivers.
