BOONE– Appalachian State University Football looks to continue its tradition of lock-down, tenacious defense under new defensive coordinator Bryan Brown, who was elevated to the role by head coach Scott Satterfield on Monday.
Brown has served as Appalachian State’s cornerbacks coach for the past six seasons, overseeing one of the nation’s most successful and productive units.
Led by its “Legion of Boone” secondary, Appalachian State ranks second nationally with 56 interceptions since the start of the 2015 season. Only San Diego State has more during that span, with 63.
Under Brown’s tutelage, Mountaineer cornerbacks have a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS)-leading 30 picks since 2015.
