BOONE, N.C. — The preseason watch list for the 2018 Wuerffel Trophy, which is given to the FBS player who best combines exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement, includes Appalachian State senior defensive tackle MyQuon Stout.
Stout's 41 tackles last season rank first among the Sun Belt Conference's returning interior linemen, and he'll enter 2018 as a third-year starter who has been named a preseason All-Sun Belt second-team selection by the league's coaches and media. Revered by coaches for his leadership and selflessness in filling a blue-collar role in the middle of App State's defensive line, he was named a team captain as a junior.
