Mountaineer Defensive Standout Clifton Duck Declares for National Football League Draft

Appalachian State University cornerback Clifton Duck announced on Twitter that he will forgo his senior season with the Mountaineers and make himself available for the 2019 National Football League (NFL) Draft.

Duck tweeted the following remarks: “I would like to formally declare for the 2019 NFL Draft. I would like to wish Coach (Eliah) Drinkwitz and the team good luck in 2019. The program is in great hands. (I’m) Always A Mountaineer.”

A Matthews, NC native, Duck helped lead the Mountaineers to a sterling 30-9 record during the stretch, a Sun Belt Conference Championship in 2018, a share of the league title in both 2016 and 2017 and three consecutive bowl victories.
