BOONE, N.C. — With last week's start of fall camp, the 2019 football opener against East Tennessee State is only 24 days away. Today is the first installment of an eight-part, position breakdown series presented by Clean Eatz.
Part 1 of the series focuses on the Appalachian State linebackers, a group that includes the outside linebackers coached by App State alum D.J. Smith and the inside linebackers coached by new defensive coordinator Ted Roof.
Part of 13 bowl appearances during his accomplished career, Roof worked previously as a defensive coordinator at Auburn, Georgia Tech, Penn State, Duke, Minnesota and UCF.
