Sun Belt Showdown: Which Team Will Seize the Unexpected Opportunity and Dominate This Season?
8. Appalachian State
- 2024 final TRACR rank: 10th (8th OFF, 12th DEF)
- 2025 preseason TRACR rank: 8th (3rd OFF, 10th DEF)
One scary thing: The Mountaineers are starting over under coach Dowell Loggains, most recently the South Carolina offensive coordinator. They’re also losing a really good QB, Joey Aguilar, who now plays for Tennessee. It’s not clear this is a top-half Sun Belt team, and that’s unusual at App.
One exciting thing: Loggains has a nice offensive track record, particularly in helping develop LaNorris Sellers into a star last year in Columbia. I’m intrigued to see how he does with former Vanderbilt and LSU passer AJ Swann, who’s now at a more appropriate competition level.
