JONESBORO, Ark. (4/19/16) – Moberly Area Community College (MACC) standout Rashad Lindsey has signed a National Letter of Intent with Arkansas State men’s basketball, head coach Grant McCasland announced today.

“We’re very excited to have Rashad joining our basketball program,” said McCasland. “He won at a very high level in junior college and we think he has all the attributes to help do the same here at Arkansas State. After getting some time to spend with his family, we got the feeling it would be a great fit. As good as a player as he is, he is an even better person and we couldn’t be happier to have him.”
