BOONE, N.C. — With the Aug. 1 start of fall camp, the 2019 football opener against East Tennessee State is just eight days away. Today is the final installment of an eight-part, position-by-position breakdown series presented by Clean Eatz.
Part 8 of the series focuses on the Appalachian State wide receivers and tight ends. As targets for the Mountaineers' quarterbacks and blockers in the run game, they will serve important roles in the scheme of new App State head coach and offensive coordinator Eliah Drinkwitz.
Accomplished veteran Pat Washington (national title with Tennessee in 1998) is the program's first-year receivers coach, and Justin Watts helped many of the 2019 juniors at that position excel as sophomores a season ago.
