Don Jones - DB - Red Wolves

Dolphins selected Arkansas State S Don Jones with the No. 250 overall pick.

Jones (5-foot-11 1/8, 191) was a Combine snub whose draft stock skyrocketed when he ran forty times of 4.40 and 4.42 with a 42-inch vertical at Arkansas State's Pro Day. He did 17 reps on the bench. He also visited the Dolphins during the pre-draft process.

Don Jones - DB - Red Wolves

Scout.com's Aaron Wilson reports Arkansas State S Don Jones visited the Cincinnati Bengals on April 17.

"Jones has [also] visited the Houston Texans, Miami Dolphins, Oakland Raiders, Green Bay Packers and Jacksonville Jaguars. He has conducted private workouts with the Cleveland Browns, Dolphins, New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles." Jones is one of the fastest rising prospects and could be selected on day-two of the draft.

Don Jones - DB - Red Wolves

Draft czar Gil Brandt reports some are concerned over how Arkansas State S Don Jones will pick up a team's system.

Brandt then said, "... but I have to say that when I talked to him on the phone, I was really impressed with this guy. He knew the answers to all the questions I had. He also called me back; when you get a guy who will call you back at 7:30 a.m., that's pretty good. The Alabama state champion in the 100, 200 and 400-meter dash in high school clocked 4.42- and 4.40-second 40-yard dashes at his pro day. Because he runs so well, he has the potential to be a corner."

Don Jones - DB - Red Wolves

Arkansas State S Don Jones is visiting the Texans on Tuesday.

Jones has been one of the more popular names in recent weeks, visiting the Packers, Dolphins and Browns. He fits the rover defender label in terms of having experience as an in the box safety, slot corner, and weak side linebacker. He is physical at each spot.

Don Jones - DB - Red Wolves

Arkansas State S Don Jones is visiting the Packers on Monday.

Jones has also worked out for the Browns and Dolphins. His name has rarely been floated throughout the process, but there is more activity as of late. It is difficult to peg where Jones could be selected, but the third-round is not far fetched. His best work is done as an in the box safety.

Don Jones - DB - Red Wolves

Arkansas State S Don Jones worked out for the Browns.

Jones also went on an official visit with the Dolphins. For a third day defensive back generating some interest, Jones continues to fly under the radar, and teams likely see upside since he is a former running back.

Don Jones - DB - Red Wolves

Arkansas State DB Don Jones is visiting the Dolphins on Wednesday.

Jones is a former running back who plays the cover position with physicality. He has experience as a nickel back but was not a popular commodity throughout the drfat process. The former JUCO player is from Alabama, so we aren;t sure if this counts as a local visit.

Ryan Aplin - QB - Red Wolves

Arkansas State senior QB Ryan Aplin threw for 334 yards, two touchdowns and one interception on 26-of-34 attempts Thursday against ULM.

Aplin is a bit of a conundrum in terms of his NFL projection. First, he has solid mobility and will likely be one of the fastest quarterbacks tested. However, his awkward delivery will leave many questioning despite flashing some downfield throws. We think he may make a conversion to receiver.

Ryan Aplin - QB - Red Wolves

Arkansas State senior QB Ryan Aplin completed 21-of-31 passes for 269 yards and a touchdown Tuesday against ULL.

Aplin started the game on a tear but trailed off a bit. We reviewed the senior prior to the season and considered him an undrafted free agent prospect. However, due to his mobility, some have projected a switch to receiver.

Allen Muse - WR - Red Wolves

Senior WR Allen Muse is no longer a part of the Arkansas State football team, according to a release from head coach Gus Malzahn.

This is likely a result of an unspecified off-field incident. Muse sat out last week's game but did record a reception during the opening week of the season.

Earl Lucas - WR - Red Wolves

Arkansas State head coach Gus Malzahn has dismissed sophomore WR Earl Lucas for a violation of team rules.

The announcement was made in a school release. Lucas had 20 catches for 225 yards last season and was the program's fourth-leading receiver. Malzahn has his work cut out for him and opens the season against Oregon.

Michael Dyer - RB - Red Wolves

Former Auburn RB Michael Dyer will enroll at a school close to his hometown of Litle Rock, Arkansas and will not play football this year, according to ESPN's Joe Schad.

Dyer reportedly tweeted yesterday "College ain't for everybody" but it comes from the same account that said the running back was transferring to FCS level Prairie View A&M. He later claimed the same account was hacked. In order to have played anywhere this season, Dyer would have to be granted a double transfer waiver by the NCAA. It has been a crazy year for Dyer, who transferred to Arkansas State to follow coach Gus Malzahn, but his time there ended before it even began due to a "violation of team rules" including a speeding citation. He remains on track for the 2013 NFL Draft, but obviously sitting out a full season of football will not help his chances of being more than a third day pick.

Michael Dyer - RB - Red Wolves

Prairie View A&M head coach Heishma Northern insists that neither he nor his assistant coaches have contacted junior RB Michael Dyer about a possible transfer.

Dyer tweeted the transfer himself, so this is a surprising development. "I haven’t talked to any coaches from Auburn, I haven’t talked to any coaches from Arkansas State, I haven’t talked to his high school coaches, and I haven’t talked him," Northern answered when asked about the Dyer transfer. Perhaps the Twitter account was a fake, but as of now it seems Dyer is not transferring to Prairie View A&M. ESPN's Joe Schad later reported that "Prairie View A&M [said] paperwork in way right now of Michael Dyer being eligible to play."

Michael Dyer - RB - Red Wolves

Former Auburn and Arkansas State junior RB Michael Dyer has transferred to Prairie View A&M.

Prairie View A&M is an FCS level program, so Dyer will almost certainly be eligible to play in 2012 after preparing to redshirt this season at Arkansas State. The former top running back recruit was dismissed from Arkansas State after being cited for speeding and was allegedly also carrying marijuana and a gun in the car. We tend to think he will spend one season at the FCS level then jettison as an early entry to the 2013 NFL Draft.

Michael Dyer - RB - Red Wolves

Coming off his dismissal from the Arkansas State football team, Arkansas State police released information that sophomore RB Michael Dyer was cited for speeding in March and was allegedly caught with marijuana and a gun.

Dyer was not arrested in the incident but was cited for going 96 miles per hour in a 70 miles per hour zone. According to the Jonesboro Sun, who obtained a copy of the dash cam video of the stop, State Trooper Royce Denney tells Dyer "You've got a career ahead of you, but you're being a total dumb ass right now." Apparently another car was involved and was driven by Ronnie Wright, who was cited for the same offense.
