Drinkwitz Adds Buddy Wyatt as Defensive Assistant for Mountaineer Football Staff

Appalachian State head football coach Eliah Drinkwitz announced a second addition to his first staff Friday with the addition of long-time major college assistant coach Buddy Wyatt.

Earlier Friday, Drinkwitz announced he had hired Andy Lutz as Assistant Athletics Director for Football Operations.

During a career that has spanned more than a quarter century, Wyatt has worked in the Southeastern, Big 12, Big Ten and American Athletic conferences as a defensive line coach.

He will serve in the same capacity for the Appalachian State Mountaineers.

“Buddy Wyatt is a man of character and a football coach with a history of player development,” Drinkwitz said.
