Eliah Drinkwitz has agreed to become Appalachian State's new head football coach.
Drinkwitz was NC State's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the last three seasons. The 35-year-old will be introduced Monday in the Mark E. Ricks Athletics Complex.
Drinkwitz is the 21st head coach in the program's history. The Mountaineers play Middle Tennessee on Saturday night in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.
“My family and I are excited to embrace and build upon the proud tradition of Appalachian State Football,” Drinkwitz said. “I am thankful to the Board of Trustees, Chancellor Everts, Doug Gillin and the entire App Nation for the opportunity to be the head coach at this great university. This is a special time for App Nation, and we will work tirelessly to uphold the championship tradition.”
