App State Starts Fall Camp with 'Foundation' Week

BOONE, N.C. — Five days into Appalachian State's fall camp, head coach Eliah Drinkwitz's focus remains on building a strong foundation.

A day after heavy rains accompanied an afternoon workout, the Mountaineers practiced under sunny skies in Kidd Brewer Stadium on Tuesday.

App State is 25 days away from its 2019 opener against East Tennessee State and Drinkwitz's first game as the program's head coach, but there will be time later this month to shift some of the attention to planning for a specific opponent. For now, it's about identifying and developing a team "DNA" with a mixture of new players and coaches.
