App State Adds David Lockwood as Safeties Coach

BOONE, N.C. – App State head coach Shawn Clark added a veteran coach with experience at the highest levels of college football to his staff Tuesday with the hiring of assistant coach David Lockwood.

With three decades of experience spanning the SEC, Big Ten, Pac-12, Big East, Mountain West, Conference USA and Notre Dame, Lockwood will oversee the Mountaineers' safeties. Mark DeBastiani, who coached safeties in 2020, will shift to coach the outside linebackers.

"David has helped his teams win a lot of games and will bring a wealth of experience and wisdom to our staff," Clark said.
