JONESBORO, Ark. (11/11/25) – Ahead of Arkansas State’s primetime clash on ESPN against Louisiana, SportsCenter on Campus will air live from the heart of the Arkansas State campus Thursday, Nov. 20, from 1–2 p.m.
 
ESPN anchor Matt Barrie and members of the Thursday night broadcast team will host the show live from Heritage Plaza outside of the Carl R. Reng Student Union at 2501 Aggie Road in Jonesboro. In the event of inclement weather, the show will move indoors to the Red Wolf Center off Aggie Road. The show has been traveling the country ahead of ESPN’s Thursday night game broadcasts, drawing large crowds of students and fans for the hour-long program.
 
Students and fans are invited to gather on the Heritage Plaza Lawn by 12:30 p.m. to be part of the national broadcast of the network’s flagship sports news program. The show will feature an appearance by head coach Butch Jones, crowd participation games with show hosts, and giveaways. The Sound of the Natural State, Howl, Scarlet, and the A-State Spirit Squads all will be in attendance. Students and fans are encouraged to bring creative signs – similar to the scene on ESPN’s Gameday broadcasts – and get involved in the fun.
 
A-State enters the home finale at 5-5 on the season, 4-2 in Sun Belt Conference play. The Red Wolves are seeking to become bowl eligible for a third consecutive season and 13th time as a FBS member.
