The second round draft selection of wide receiver Dexter Jackson, and sixth round draft pick of safety Corey Lynch resulted in the third time that Appalachian State has had two players selected in the National Football League Draft.
Offensive guard Kerry Brown and place kicker Julian Rauch signed terms as free agents very shortly after the conclusion of the draft.
“I think people are a little bit disappointed that Kerry wasn’t drafted in the sixth or seventh round as we expected, but we’re ecstatic about Dexter,” Assistant Athletics Director and Sports Information Director Mike Flynn said.

1. Sept. 1, Appalachian upsets Michigan
After dominating the first half of their opening game, Appalachian struggled for most of the second before tipping a field goal attempt in the fourth quarter, and following it with a 69-yard drive capped with a Julian Rauch field goal to put the Mountaineers up by two.
On the following drive, University of Michigan quarterback Chad Henne hit wide receiver Mario Manningham with a 46-yard bomb to Appalachian’s 20-yard line with six seconds remaining.
The Wolverines trusted kicker Jason Gingell to finish the game for them, and the rest is history.

Two days in April.
That’s the theme for the Appalachian State University men’s and women’s track and field team as they prepare for the Southern Conference Outdoor Championship to be held in Cullowhee this weekend.
“Saturday and Sunday are the only two days that will mean anything for the season,” ASU head track coach John Weaver said. “That’s the two days where you want to be prepared to do whatever is necessary for you to take the best of what we have.”
