Drinkwitz Adds Link to App State Coaching Staff
BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State head coach Eliah Drinkwitz added Louisiana Tech assistant Erik Link, who has won one FBS national title, claimed four conference championships and made seven postseason appearances in his last seven college seasons, to the Mountaineers' staff as the special teams coordinator Wednesday.
Link spent the 2018 season as the special teams coordinator for Louisiana Tech, which won the SoFi Hawaii Bowl to cap an eight-win season in which the Bulldogs blocked four kicks to rank 10th nationally. Like App State, Louisiana Tech got off to a strong start on special teams, as it had three blocks in its first four games.
