In Shawn Clark’s first full year at the helm of the App State football team, the former All-American led his alma mater to a 9-3 record. The nine wins included an 8-point victory at rival Georgia Southern and a 56-28 thumping of North Texas in the Myrtle Beach Bowl. The bowl victory upgraded the Mountaineers’ bowl record to 6-0 in its six consecutive bowl appearances since joining the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision in 2014.
Heading into 2021, App State returns ample depth and experience, including 21 super seniors and graduate students and 17 of its 22 starters from the 2020 season.
