App State Head Coach Eliah Drinkwitz Adds Dorsey and Retains Watts as Coaching Staff Members

New Appalachian State head football coach Eliah Drinkwitz has added Ken Dorsey, a national championship-winning and former Carolina Panthers quarterbacks coach, to his first Mountaineers coaching staff and is retaining offensive coach Justin Watts, who served on former coach Scott Satterfield’s staff.

Drinkwitz announced both Dorsey’s hire and Watts’ retention last week.

Dorsey has joined the Appalachian State staff after helping coach Florida International to a Bahamas Bowl berth this season. He will serve as an offensive assistant on Drinkwitz’s staff.

Championships have followed Dorsey from his days as a title-winning quarterback for the University of Miami Hurricanes through his career as an assistant coach in the National Football League (NFL).
