Veteran Coach DeBastiani Joins Football Staff

BOONE, N.C. — College coaching veteran Mark DeBastiani is the newest member of the App State football staff, head coach Shawn Clark announced Friday. DeBastiani will be an assistant coach with the defense.

"We're thrilled to welcome Mark and his family to the App Family," Clark said. "Mark was a part of our undefeated regular season in 1995 and has had tremendous success as a defensive coach at every stop since. He will be a great leader for the young men in our program."

DeBastiani coached the defensive tackles at App State from 1995-96, when Clark was an All-American offensive lineman.
