Arkansas State running back Ja’Quez Cross out for 2025 season with injury

JONESBORO, Ark. – Ahead of their historic showdown with the Arkansas Razorbacks on Saturday, the Arkansas State Red Wolves were dealt a painful blow to their season this week.

Cross, a native of Hampton, confirmed in a post on social media Saturday that he was done for the season, but would be back next season.

“To my A-State family and friends, I am hurt to announce that I’ve tore my ACL/MCL and will be out for the remainder of the season,” the post said. “I had many goals that I wished to accomplish this season with the help of my teammates, coaches and support from the A-State football fanbase, but God had other plans and I won’t question why this happened. Instead of being depressed, I want to focus on the opportunity I have to be a better football player, teammate and overall man when I am able to return. I promise the best version of me has yet to be seen! This isn’t goodbye, just a see you next season for a redo of my last ride.”

In their season opener against Southeast Missouri State, Cross was a dual threat, producing touchdowns on the ground and through the air and 99 total yards.

The Red Wolves will be looking to running backs Kenyon Clay and Devin Spencer as well as receiver Chauncy Cobb to pick up the load for quarterback Jaylen Raynor.

Next week the Red Wolves have another big showdown, this time at home against the 3-0 Iowa State Cyclones.
