BOONE, N.C. — Scot Sloan, who helped App State Football rise to prominence in its unprecedented transition from the FCS to FBS ranks, is returning to Boone as defensive coordinator, head coach Shawn Clark announced Friday.
Sloan will oversee a Mountaineer defense that was annually rated among college football's best during his time on staff from 2010-17.
"We are excited to welcome Scot and his family back to Boone," Clark said. "Scot played a key role in our championship success and recruiting during his first stint here. He has coordinated successful defenses with multiple programs, and he will instill a tough, sound, disciplined approach for our defense moving forward.
