The history of App State football has been filled with outstanding defensive talent. Every year, there’s a highlight-reel defender that plays all over the field, making plays in the passing and rushing game.
Brendan Harrington, a junior linebacker, if limited to one position, has taken over the role as swiss-army knife for the Mountaineers. Lining up everywhere on the field and taking over any role necessary, Harrington has taken the mantle of “do-it-all” defender, a title once held by current Cincinnati Bengal Akeem Davis-Gaither.
Harrington was considered a safety his freshman year at just 6 foot 1 inch tall and 205 pounds.
