Drinkwitz Adds Wyatt As Defensive Assistant

BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State head football coach Eliah Drinkwitz announced Friday the addition of defensive assistant Buddy Wyatt, who has worked in the SEC, Big 12, Big Ten and American Athletic conferences as a defensive coach during a highly respected career that's covered more than 25 years.

"Buddy Wyatt is a man of character and a football coach with a history of player development," Drinkwitz said. "He will work to enhance our defensive line play. I'm excited to welcome Buddy and his wife to the Appalachian Family."

Wyatt spent last season as a senior analyst at Kansas following a three-year stint as SMU's defensive line coach from 2015-17.
