94 Days Away. Last season, freshman defensive lineman Caleb Pitts donned the #94 jersey for the Mountaineers.

A native of Auburn, Ala., Pitts appeared in nine games for App State, racking up back-to-back three-tackle games against JMU and Marshall in November.

In his All-State high school career, he racked up 150+ tackles, 40+ tackles for loss and 20+ sacks at Auburn High School.

🔼 One More Stop. The 2026 Mountaineer Spring Tour, presented by First Horizon Bank, is coming to its final stop this week when the bus rolls into Asheville for its final night tomorrow night.

For the past six weeks, the Mountaineers Athletic Fund and Office of Alumni Engagement have teamed up to make this spring's caravan an exciting experience, featuring great venues, food and drink – all free of charge. Guests are asked to register online for events ahead of time.
 
Featured speakers during the 2026 Mountaineer Spring Tour included Director of Athletics Doug Gillin and many of the Mountaineer coaches, along with additional staff members of App State Athletics and the Alumni Association.

Stops this spring have included Atlanta, Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Boone, Raleigh/Durham, and Hickory.

🔼 Hittin’ The Links. It’s always a great time getting together with the App Family.

Last Thursday and Friday, the Mountaineers hosted its annual App State Football Dinner, Auction and Golf Tournament.

This past weekend Kaden Keiser earned a top-12 finish at U23 Team Nationals in Geneva, Ohio.

Heading into his redshirt senior season next year with the Mountaineers, how many career victories has Keiser piled up?
