Recruiting coordinator for App State football, Justin Watts, will now be assistant head coach, head coach Shawn Clark announced Wednesday. Since Watts’ arrival in Boone in 2015, the Mountaineers have won four conference championships and six straight bowl games.
Watts spent four years as the wide receivers coach before spending the last two as the tight ends coach. In 2020, Watts’ tight ends group hauled in 24 receptions and five touchdowns through the final seven games. This included five receptions and two touchdowns in the inaugural Myrtle Beach bowl win.
While serving as a tight ends and wide receivers coach, Watts also served as the program’s recruiting coordinator.
