Appalachian St. Mountaineers
Appalachian State had a rare losing season last year after consistently successful performances since joining the FBS in 2014. The team brought in Dowell Loggains as the new head coach, known for his successful tenure as an offensive coordinator in the NFL. Despite losing key players to the transfer portal, additions like quarterbacks AJ Swann and JJ Kohl provide new talent. The receiving corps also received a boost with Davion Dozier and Jaden Barnes. Top returning receiver Dalton Stroman will be supported by a trio of talented receivers. The team's defense is looking to improve after struggling against the run and pass last season. Key players like edge rusher Thomas Davis and middle linebacker Kyle Arnholt aim to lead the defense to success. Defensive back DJ Burks and safety Zyeir Gamble bring strength to the secondary, with Ethan Johnson providing experience. Injured running back Kayne Roberts will miss the opening game, but the team remains optimistic for the upcoming season.
Charlotte 49ers
The Charlotte 49ers have had limited success in their first decade in the FBS, with just one winning season. In an effort to turn the program around, Charlotte has hired Tim Albin as the new head coach. Albin has brought in a number of new coaches and over half of the projected starters on offense and defense are incoming transfers. The 49ers have three transfer quarterbacks vying for the starting job. The team's top rushers from last season have departed, with Henry Rutledge expected to lead the backfield. Wide receiver Jayden McGowan is expected to be the top target for the quarterback. The defense is largely unproven, with most of the starters coming from the transfer portal. Linebacker Reid Williford is a key returning player after leading the team in tackles last season. The secondary features new starters, including transfer Calen Curtain, a two-time FCS All-American.
Appalachian State looks to bounce back against Charlotte with bolstered roster
Both Appalachian State and Charlotte have seen an influx of transfers due to recent coaching changes. Following their first losing season since joining the FBS in 2014, Appalachian State is determined to start the season on a positive note against Charlotte. The team has bolstered its roster with talented position players, new offensive linemen, and experienced defensive players. While they will be without their top rusher, Kayne Roberts, Appalachian State plans to rely on their passing game against a Charlotte defense predominantly composed of transfers who may need time to develop chemistry. Under the leadership of new head coach Dowell Loggains, who brings a wealth of offensive coordinating experience from both college and professional football, the Mountaineers are expected to have a potent offense this season.
