BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State quarterback Zac Thomas has headed from Boone to the Bayou to serve as a counselor for the prestigious Manning Passing Academy.
The academy, which is owned and operated by Archie, Peyton, Eli and Cooper Manning, runs from Thursday through Sunday at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, La. Thomas and other high-profile college quarterbacks will work with campers in grades 8-12 throughout the four-day event.
Thibodaux is about one hour southwest of the Mercedez-Benz Superdome, where Thomas was named MVP of the 2018 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.
