Appalachian State welcomes back 10 starters from a prolific offense that averaged 37.3 points per game and was integral in the Mountaineers winning the Sun Belt Conference championship.

Quarterback Zac Thomas, the 2018 Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the Year, is back to lead a unit that includes each of last year’s starters at the skill spots.
