App State Loses 39 Players to the Portal

[NewsCopy]

Appalachian State finished the 2025 season 5–8 (2–6 Sun Belt) and lost 29–10 to Georgia Southern in the JLab Birmingham Bowl, a disappointing campaign for a program accustomed to sustained success, marked by midseason injuries and turnover at quarterback.

The season also marked the first under head coach Dowell Loggains, who arrived in Boone after serving as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at South Carolina from 2023–24.

Loggains previously served as an NFL offensive coordinator or quarterbacks coach with the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, Chicago Bears, Cleveland Browns, and Tennessee Titans.

Where do 39 players from a losing team think they are going?

Another version of "Me too"

They did have a really good signing class.

WE complain on this board. I do also lol, but one day this will happen to us when we get a new coach either if the current coach gets fired or moves on. It will have to be a complete rebuild. It is only a matter of time.

For years I have said * "You can make people do anything if they think it is the popular thing to do."

Football teams are taught to be a tight knit group. When the floodgates appear open everyone says "me too."

ps* Mostly applyied it to increasing attendance at sporting events and why some schools excel in attendance numbers. "Me too."

pss The opposite can be true too; I'm staying home. "Me too."

It was reported last night that lsfoo lost over 50 players and got 38 in. Talk about a revolving door!!!

I've just kinda lost interest in college sports with all of this garbage. Its just pro football light at this point. The days of following a team and having beloved players are gone and that truly sucks. I dont blame players getting paid, but I hate the way things are, it just sucks.

I forget who said it "Why buy a player jersey anymore?"

Louisiana needs to double down on school Name* improve their Image, and their Likenessability will go up.
