App State Adds Wisconsin Transfer Madison Cone

BOONE, N.C. — App State Football has officially added graduate transfer Madison Cone, Mountaineers head coach Shawn Clark announced Friday.

Cone, a defensive back from Kernersville, N.C., played in 33 games over four years with Wisconsin's program. After earning an undergraduate degree in community and nonprofit leadership from Wisconsin in December 2019 and a master's degree in educational leadership and policy analysis earlier this year, he will have one season of eligibility remaining to compete for the Mountaineers in 2021.

The 5-foot-9, 185-pound Cone played both cornerback and safety for the Badgers, highlighted by a 2018 season in which he made two starts, intercepted two passes, broke up two more and recorded 19 tackles.
