In his weekly Monday press conference, App State head football coach Eliah Drinkwitz confirmed that junior wide receiver Corey Sutton will return from suspension and play against UNC in Chapel Hill on Sept. 21.
Sutton was suspended for App State’s first two games for a violation of team rules, stemming from a marijuana possession charge in July. Last year, Sutton led the Mountaineers with 44 receptions, 773 receiving yards and 10 receiving touchdowns. Sutton was also junior quarterback Zac Thomas’s top target last season.
Drinkwitz said he and his team have finished up their bye week and are fully focused on the matchup with UNC.
