App State Brew 8/8: Three Weeks Away!

TGIF, Mountaineers. Hey! We know that guy!

What else do we have stirring? Check it out below!

⏱️ Countdown To Kickoff
🟡 And much more!

2️⃣1️⃣ days from kickoff…

A third straight win over ECU was a dramatic one last fall as the Mountaineers scored 2️⃣1️⃣ straight points and held on for a 2️⃣1️⃣-19 victory on the road in Greenville.

Joey Aguilar threw for a career-high 424 yards and two touchdowns, including a 36-yard, go-ahead score to Makai Jackson late in the third quarter. Jackson finished with 86 yards, compared to 129 on seven catches from Kaedin Robinson and 108 on five receptions from Christan Horn.

🔼 Dynamic Duo. While the 2025 season hasn’t started quite yet for the App State soccer program, the accolades have already started to roll in.

This week, App State sophomore midfielder Ellie Garrison and graduate forward Izzi Wood were named to the Sun Belt Conference preseason all-conference soccer team.
 
It marks the first time in program history that two players have been selected to the preseason All-Sun Belt team. Additionally, Wood becomes the first player in program history to earn the distinction twice in her career.

🔼 Welcome Home. Some name tags may be required to start the year for the App State track & field/cross country program as the Mountaineers will now welcome 27 newcomers to the family for the 2025-26 seasons.

This week, Damion McLean and staff announced the addition of five student-athletes who round out the Mountaineers' 2025-26 signing class.

The newcomers complete an incoming class, which totals 16 distance athletes, three jumpers and eight sprinters. 

🔼 More Than A Game. Sure, we love the thrilling victories and heart-pounding action on the court, but it’s the impact the Mountaineers make off the court that means even more.

Assistant coach Tanner Smith is doing just that with a nonprofit that helps kids undergoing long-term treatment in the hospital. Learn more about the impact that you can help make through this video.
