App State kicks off its 2022 football season against North Carolina in Kidd Brewer Stadium Sept. 3.
The Mountaineers and Tar Heels have met twice before, splitting the two matchups. North Carolina won 56-6 in 1940, while App State secured a 34-31 victory in 2019. The Sept. 3 matchup will be the Tar Heels’ first ever trip to Boone.
Both teams begin the 2022 season with uncertainty at positions that were occupied by school record-setters for the past several years.
The wide receiver position will be the largest question mark heading into the coming year for the Mountaineers after four long-time receivers departed the program following 2021.
