ASU names new coordinator

Arkansas State University football has announced Curt Baldus as its next special teams coordinator. Baldus replaces former special teams coach Steve Hauser, who left the program earlier this month to pursue an opportunity outside of football.

Baldus joins head Coach Butch Jones’ staff after spending the 2020 season as a special teams analyst at Florida State. His 19year career also includes stops with Sun Belt Conference foe Coastal Carolina (2013-19), Nebraska (2006, 2008-12), Buffalo (2007) and St. Cloud State (2002-04), where he overlapped with the playing career of Red Wolves offensive coordinator Keith Heckendorf.

As a player at Gustavus Adolphus College (Minn.), Baldus was an all-conference kicker and played defensive back, linebacker and punter.
