BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State brings back two of its top four tight ends from last season. A former App State tight end has returned to the coaching staff this spring.
With Collin Reed and Devin Papenheim still on the roster after starting two games apiece in 2017, there is an official tight ends coach working in a full-time, on-field role with the promotion of alum Nic Cardwell, who played on the three national championship teams from 2004-07 and was a member of the App State staff last season in an offensive quality control capacity.
