Special Start: How App State Leads Nation in Return TDs
BOONE, N.C. — Thomas Hennigan enjoyed a satisfying return trip to the end zone. Darrynton Evans needed another one to put the past in the rearview mirror.
Not to be outdone, Steven Jones and Clifton Duck joined in on what's been a special start to the 2018 season for Appalachian State's special teams.
All four players already have scored touchdowns in the return game, putting a group coordinated by assistant coach Stu Holt in elite company.
App State leads the nation with four special teams TDs, and that pace-setting stretch to begin the season preceded a 52-7 victory in which the Mountaineers blocked a South Alabama field goal and also had a 52-yard punt return.
