Can you explain the process that went into hiring Eli Drinkwitz as the new football coach?
At Appalachian State, this is a top-25 position in college football, and we conducted a national search to find the right candidate to lead our program. Eliah Drinkwitz aligns with our core values and is committed to academic, competitive and social excellence while also making the well-being of student-athletes a priority.
