BOONE, N.C. — Whether it's completing passes or picking them off, App State's Zac Thomas and Shemar Jean-Charles put their skills to productive use Sunday in the FBS All Americans Tropical Bowl near Orlando, Fla.
Thomas, who went 32-6 as App State's starting quarterback, led the National team to a 20-17 victory and was named its Offensive MVP. He threw one touchdown pass and unofficially accounted for 170 yards of offense, with an 8.4-yards-per-carry average.
Jean-Charles, meanwhile, intercepted a pass in the all-star game. That should have come as no surprise, considering the All-America cornerback led the nation in passes defended both as a senior in 2020 and during his two combined seasons as a starter from 2019-20.
