Former all-American Mountaineer offensive lineman and assistant coach Shawn Clark was officially announced as App State’s 22nd head coach in program history Friday afternoon.
“It is a great day to be a Mountaineer,” Clark said to open the introductory press conference. “First of all, I’d like to say that I’m humbled and honored to stand before you as the 22nd head coach of Appalachian State university.”
As an offensive lineman for the Mountaineers from 1994-1998, Clark was a three time all-conference selection and two-time all-American for App State coach Jerry Moore. Clark started coaching in 2001 as a graduate assistant at Louisville.
