 Chase Brice, Appalachian State, Player News


  Former App State quarterback Chase Brice and offensive lineman Anderson Hardy were drafted in the United States Football League College Draft Tuesday. Brice was selected 3rd overall by the Houston Gamblers. The Gamblers finished 3-7 last season under head coach Kevin Sumlin. Brice is expected to be the team's starting quarterback when the season begins in April.

During his career at App State, Brice threw for 6,258 passing yards and 54 touchdowns while leading App State to a 16-10 record over his two seasons. Hardy was selected 12th overall by the Philadelphia Stars. In 2022, the Stars finished with a 6-4 record. Both Brice and Hardy will have the option to look to other leagues for professional options, but, if they wish to compete in the USFL, their rights belong to the Gamblers and Stars, respectively. - The Appalachian

  Chase Brice threw for four touchdowns, ran for another and Appalachian State rolled to a 49-0 win on Saturday over The Citadel. The Mountaineers' (3-2) first four games were decided by four points or fewer but that wasn't the case against the Bulldogs (2-2), who they outgained 545-223. It was the 43rd meeting between the teams but the first nonconference game between them since the Mountaineers left for the FBS. The Mountaineers scored touchdowns on five of their first six possessions in taking off to a 35-0 lead.

Brice was 12-of-18 passing for 265 yards with two of his scoring throws going to Christian Horn, one an 80-yarder. Horn's older brother, Brian Horn, plays linebacker for The Citadel. Christian Horn finished with 132 yards receiving and two touchdowns. Camerun Peoples rushed for 102 yards, 73 coming on a second-quarter TD. Bulldogs grad transfer quarterback Peyton Derrick started his collegiate career at Appalachian State, where he spent two years before playing three seasons at Wofford. The triple-option oriented Bulldogs couldn't generate much offense, picking up 172 yards on 59 attempts for a 2.9 average. The shutout was the first for the Mountaineers since a 34-0 victory over Toledo in 2017. - Appalachian State/AP College Football

  Chase Brice fired a 53-yard scoring strike to Christan Horn on the final play of the game and Appalachian State pulled out a 32-28 victory over Troy in a Sun Belt Conference opener on Saturday. Brice drove Appalachian State (2-1) down the field before throwing incomplete on fourth-and-goal from the 2-yard line with 1:13 left in the game. Appalachian State tackled Gunnar Watson on first down for a safety to get within 28-26 and took over at their own 47-yard line with 15 seconds left following the kickoff.

Brice's game-winning throw came on fourth-and-10. Wide receiver Dashaun Davis staked the Mountaineers to a 7-0 lead with a 17-yard scoring strike to Christian Wells. Watson had two 1-yard touchdown runs in the second quarter to give Troy (1-2) a 21-14 lead at halftime. Brice completed 22 of 34 passes for 278 yards and two touchdowns.

  On paper, there was no reason to believe that Appalachian State would have a chance Saturday against No. 6 Texas A&M. But Mountaineers coach Shawn Clark, who makes 10 times less than the over $9 million Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher receives each season at the Southeastern Conference school, made it clear to his 18 1/2-point underdog team that the game is not played on paper and mindset would mean everything. "The key was belief," an exhausted Clark said. "You have to believe in yourself and believe in this program. I told them take the logo off of the helmet, take the logo off the field and let's go play football." And play football they did, with Chase Brice throwing for 134 yards and a touchdown and a stingy defense taking advantage of two turnovers to stun the Aggies 17-14.

"It didn't feel real at first," Brice said. "I'll be honest, I was just in shock. I just couldn't believe the way we fought and finished. It was just great." Appalachian State won a week after scoring six touchdowns and 40 points in the fourth quarter in a 63-61 opening loss to North Carolina. "It means something to me to beat the No. 6-ranked program," Clark said. "It's two different programs. We don't recruit at the same level. We don't have what they have, but we have a lot of heart and we have the right kind of players in our program." Clark was thrilled to see Brice lead his team to the win after his school-record six-touchdown performance last week wasn't enough to complete the comeback. "He was crushed," Clark said. "He loves this program and today was his shining moment." Along with the victory, the Mountaineers got a fat $1.5 million check to take back with them to Boone, North Carolina, for playing this game. - AP College Football

  Appalachian State's 40 points in the fourth quarter of its 63-61 loss to North Carolina were the most by a team in a quarter since BYU hung 42 on Massachusetts in the second in 2019 and most by a team in a fourth quarter in 20 years, according to Sportradar. According to Stats Perform, Saturday marked the first time an FBS team scored at least 60 points and lost and an FBS scored fewer than 10 points and won on the same day. Iowa turned a field goal and two safeties into a 7-3 win over South Dakota State. - AP College Football

Appalachian State (10-2, 7-1) clinched the Sun Belt's East title with a win over Troy last week and advances to face Louisiana-Lafayette for the conference championship.

  Chase Brice threw three touchdown passes and Appalachian State rode a dominating defense to a 45-7 rout of Troy on Saturday. Appalachian State plays Georgia Southern Saturday in its regular season finale, but the Mountaineers already secured a berth in the Sun Belt Conference championship game Dec. 4 against Louisiana-Lafayette. Appalachian State (9-2, 6-1) held Troy (5-6, 3-4) to just 33 yards on the ground and 142 yards overall.

Brice hit Corey Sutton with a 21-yard touchdown pass with 21 seconds left in the first half to put Appalachian State up 10-7, then found Thomas Hennigan and Eli Watson with touchdown passes just seconds apart to start the third quarter, pushing the Mountaineers' lead to 24-7. Brice was 17 of 24 passing for 212 yards for the Mountaineers, but also threw two interceptions. Nate Noel carried 15 times for 102 yards and a touchdown. Hennigan had seven catches for 85 yards and a touchdown and Sutton caught four for 76 yards and a score. Troy's Gunnar Watson fired a 37-yard touchdown pass to Deshon Staudemire, who made an acrobatic grab at the goal line. - Appalachian State/AP College Football

  Chase Brice passed for two touchdowns, ran for a third and Appalachian State closed out the game with a Trey Cobb 100-yard interception return to defeat South Alabama 31-7 on Saturday. Appalachian State (8-2, 5-1 Sun Belt) is undefeated at home in six games this season. Brice opened the scoring with a keeper from the 6-yard line late in the first quarter, and then hit Corey Sutton with a 17-yard pass less than a minute later after Cobb's first pick of the game. South Alabama (5-5, 2-5) closed to 14-7 late in the first half on a 27-yard pass from Desmond Trotter to Jacob Hopper.

With the score 17-7 midway through the final period, Brice iced the win with a fourth-down play-action pass to Thomas Hennigan for a 14-yard touchdown. The Mountaineers were 3 for 3 on fourth-down conversions, twice resulting in touchdowns. The TD catch was Hennigan's 20th of his career. Driving to second-and-goal at the 9 with less than three minutes remaining in the game, Trotter was hit as he released the ball and Cobb made his second interception standing on the goal line, angled up the left sideline and picked up a convoy of black-and-gold-clad teammates for the 100-yard return. Cobb's interception was Appalachian State's fourth 100-yard pick-6 and first since 1990. - Appalachian State/AP College Football

  Chase Brice threw four touchdown passes and Appalachian State forced four turnovers in the first half to cruise past Louisiana-Monroe 59-28 on Saturday. Brice threw a pair of TD passes to Caleb Spurlin and one each to Corey Sutton and Malik Williams. Brice finished 20-of-30 passing for 256 yards, all in the first half, as Appalachian State (6-2, 3-1) built a 49-7 halftime lead. The Mountaineers' Ryan Huff and Trey Cobb each had an interception.

  Chase Brice is determined to make the most of what is left of his roller-coaster college career. He took a big step forward Wednesday night. Brice threw for 347 yards and two touchdowns, Chandler Staton kicked a 24-yard field goal as time expired and Appalachian State upset 14th-ranked Coastal Carolina 30-27 in front of a capacity crowd of 31,061 at Kidd Brewer Stadium. After spending three years at Clemson mostly backing up Trevor Lawrence and then going 2-9 last season as a starter at Duke, Brice transferred to Appalachian State looking for a new start and a chance to win big football games. "Right now I'm getting an opportunity to kind of flip the script on certain things about me that get talked about and written about," Brice said. "So that's kind of my goal." Malik Williams had a monster game catching some well-placed bombs from Brice, finishing with 10 catches for 206 yards and a touchdown.

Camerun Peoples ran for two touchdowns and Corey Sutton had 113 yards receiving and a score for the Mountaineers (5-2, 2-1 Sun Belt). They have never lost at home to the Chanticleers. The Mountaineers moved into the driver's seat in the conference's East division and the loss could prevent Coastal Carolina (6-1, 2-1) from reaching the championship game. "We're in control of our own destiny right now," said Appalachian State coach Shawn Clark, whose team bounced back from a 41-13 loss last week at Louisiana-Lafayette. "I'm so proud of this team and everyone involved in our organization." Coastal Carolina came in averaging 48.8 points, but the Chanticleers were outgained 575 to 376 and the offense struggled to protect QB Grayson McCall in the second half. - Appalachian State/AP College Football

  Chase Brice threw three touchdown passes and Appalachian State dominated the second half in a 45-16 win over Georgia State in the Sun Belt Conference opener on Saturday. Brice was 20-for-28 passing for 326 yards, two big chunks when he hit Corey Sutton for 79 yards in the third quarter and Christian Wells for 80 in the fourth. Those one-play drives highlighted a string of five-straight scoring possessions that turned a 14-6 halftime lead into 45-9 after 31-straight points.

The Mountaineers (4-1) improved to 50-9 since joining the Sun Belt Conference and are 8-0 all-time against the Panthers (1-4). Appalachian State had 304 of its total 502 yards after the break, even with leading rusher Nate Noel not playing in the second half. Noel had 74 yards on 12 carries and a touchdown in the first half. Sutton caught four balls for 106 yards. Georgia State freshman Tailique Williams scored his first career touchdown on a 66-yard catch-and-run to close the scoring. The Panthers had 380 yards of offense but had three turnovers and lost two defenders on targeting calls in the second half. - Appalachian State/AP College Football

  The favorite to replace Zac Thomas at quarterback is Chase Brice, formerly of Clemson and Duke. Brice looks to shake off a year with the Blue Devils that featured frequent turnovers, and start anew with a team that gives him talent to work with at every offensive position. "Will he be a starter? Time will tell," Clark said at the Sun Belt's media day. "Right now going into camp he will be our starter." To add more depth to the room and provide push, Jacob Huesman has returned for a sixth year with the program. - Winston-Salem Journal

  Appalachian State's football team has been selected as the co-favorite to win its division in the Sun Belt Conference. Nine Mountaineers are predicted to land places on the All-Sun Belt team: six on the first team and three on the second team. App State and Coastal Carolina were picked as the likely East Division winners, earning 44 points each in voting by the 10 head coaches and a journalist who covers each of the schools. The Chanticleers garnered six first-place votes, while the Mountaineers had four. Coastal Carolina, which went 11-1 in 2020 and finished at No. 12 in the final College Football Playoff rankings, defeated App State 34-23 last season.

  On May 21, Appalachian State University announced its campus would return to pre-pandemic operations for the fall 2021 semester, with safety precautions in place. That announcement followed North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper's lifting of the state's capacity and gathering limits, social distancing requirements and most face covering mandates. App State will continue to follow all state and federal orders and directives of The University of North Carolina System, and will adhere to guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local public health in order to ensure the safest possible on-campus environment. The university will continue to set the standard for excellence with safety measures and cleaning procedures. - High County Press

  In his short amount of time in Boone, Chase Brice has noticed how fervent Appalachian State fans can be. But he's gone fairly unrecognized, the new Mountaineers quarterback said, with the only tell coming from the program gear he wears around town. "I blend in pretty good, but I am a little bit bigger," Brice said. "Some people think I'm a baseball player or something like that. I get that a lot." He's also realized just how much fun he's having this spring, acclimating himself to his second program in two seasons. Brice, formerly at Clemson and, most recently, Duke in 2020, compared the joy he's experienced now to the way he felt ahead of the 2018 season, his first where he could actually see playing time in a college game. "That was kind of a stepping stone for me to get better," Brice said. "And when that spring came around and I was a redshirt freshman, I was really excited for football. I'd say I'm at that point. It's pretty equal. "I know I'm going to make an impact on the field and have an opportunity. I'm really excited about that." - Winston-Salem Journal

  App State has added graduate transfer and former ACC quarterback Chase Brice, who is enrolled in classes with Tuesday's start to the spring semester. To this point in his college career, the 6-foot-3, 235-pound Brice has played in 36 FBS games, taken more than 1,100 snaps, thrown for nearly 3,200 yards and produced 19 touchdown passes. He led a fourth-quarter comeback during Clemson's national championship season in 2018 and started every game for fellow ACC program Duke in 2020. A native of Grayson, Ga., Brice spent three seasons as a member of Clemson's football program, graduated from Clemson in May 2020 and threw for 2,170 yards while passing for 10 touchdowns in 11 starts at Duke as a master's student during the 2020 season. - High County Press

  It didn't take long for Appalachian State to find its quarterback for 2021. A day after three-year starter Zac Thomas officially announced he would not use his extra eligibility, the Mountaineers secured the commitment of grad transfer Chase Brice, who announced the decision on Twitter. Brice has played for two ACC programs, spending his first two seasons at Clemson before becoming the starting quarterback at Duke this season.

The addition of Brice is a needed bridge from Thomas, who threw for at least 20 touchdowns and 2,000 yards a season under three different playcallers, and the future of the position. The Mountaineers signed two quarterbacks in the 2021 recruiting class: DC Tabscott and Andre Goodman. They also signed two in the last class as well with Navy Shuler and David Baldwin-Griffin, the latter of whom opted out this season and is not longer part of the program. - Winston-Salem Journal

  Two days after Duke's disappointing football season ended, two players and a coach are heading elsewhere to continue their college football experiences. Quarterback Chase Brice, who arrived at Duke last spring from Clemson with high hopes, said Monday night he’s entered the NCAA’s transfer portal to play his final season at another school. Safety Marquis Waters, who went through senior day festivities with the team earlier this month, has also entered his name in the portal. - Raleigh News & Observer

  Duke coach David Cutcliffe said after the game that he liked the "fight" of his team and at every position Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium. Quarterback Chase Brice was "fierce" in the way he played, Cutcliffe said, shouldering the blame for a couple of Brice's three interceptions. Turnovers have been a season-long malady for Duke. The Blue Devils had 19 before the game, more than any other FBS team, and added to that troubling total. The Pack's second TD came on a blocked punt late in the first half. Third downs were a problem - Duke was 4 of 16 on conversions while the Pack was 7 of 15. - Herald Sun

  Brice threw interceptions No. 9, 10 and 11 of the season, the first a bad decision to throw over the middle at the goal line, the second when he was hit while throwing, the third deeper over the middle with Duke down a score in the fourth quarter. Still a heavy emphasis on the tight ends, with the receivers mostly forgotten again. Jake Bobo did have a nice sequence, dodging tackles on a short touchdown to make it 17-7 after a leaping catch on the sideline. - Herald Sun

  There's work to be done for quarterback Chase Brice, but this uneven performance at least shows there's a high upside. Brice started 5-for-5 with a 26-yard touchdown pass on the opening drive, and then threw eight straight incompletions and was benched after his fumble was returned for a touchdown. Gunnar Holmberg replaced him for a possession and also fumbled. Brice seemed to find his rhythm afterward, throwing for a 52-yard touchdown at the end of the first half. A second-half interception thrown between four Orange defenders was another blemish, but overall Brice threw for 270 yards and two scores. - Herald Sun

  Chase Brice threw for two touchdowns, Mataeo Durant rushed for 163 yards and two more scores, and Deon Jackson rushed for a career-high 169 yards and Duke finally won a game, holding off Syracuse 38-24 on Saturday. Duke (1-4, 1-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) won despite three lost fumbles and an interception, but Syracuse (1-3, 1-3) only turned them into seven points. The Blue Devils entered the game with 15 turnovers, the most in the nation, while Syracuse was second nationally in turnovers gained with 10. On this day, it finally didn't matter for the Blue Devils, who used the backfield tandem of Jackson and Durant to wreak considerable havoc while the Syracuse offense sputtered. Quarterback Tommy DeVito never found any sort of rhythm, misfiring repeatedly on long throws, and failed to capitalize on any of the turnovers. He finished 13-of-26 passing for 255 yards and two touchdowns. He was injured when sacked early in the fourth quarter for the fifth time and replaced by Rex Culpepper. Duke came from behind with two touchdowns late in the second quarter to gain a 14-point halftime lead. - AP College Football

  Brice had his best college moment against Syracuse - with Clemson. With the Tigers trailing the Orange 23-20 late in the fourth quarter in the 2018 game at Clemson, with quarterback Trevor Lawrence out of the game, Brice led the Tigers 94 yards for the winning score. What the transfer wants now is to get Duke a winning score. College football has become a sport of constant movement and change. Herbert is a graduate transfer. Braxton Burmeister, the Hokies' starting quarterback Saturday, transferred from Oregon and running back Raheem Blackshear from Rutgers. So it goes.

Brice, who played two years as Lawrence's backup at Clemson, finally found a comfort level Saturday in the second half - Duke had only 91 yards in total offense in the opening half. He connected on some down-the-field throws and found senior tight end Noah Gray, the old reliable, for another TD pass. "This is our fifth real live competition, with one live scrimmage," Brice said. "Later on now we're beginning to click a little better. I'm understanding my personnel and feeling more confident in the system and play-calling." - Herald Sun

  Four of the six teams with the most turnovers are from the ACC. Duke has committed 14, most in the nation, and is followed by Georgia Tech with 12. Louisville has the fourth-most in the country, at eight, and Florida State is tied for fifth with six. - AP College Football

  If there were questions about Duke quarterback Chase Brice, most were answered against Notre Dame in Cutcliffe's opinion. Brice, in his first college start, handled his nerves and the team well enough, giving the Clemson transfer something to build off of from the game. "I thought Chase played really well under difficult circumstances against a really good team and a challenging front," Cutcliffe said. "He made some great throws. If we had run the ball better it might have opened up some things for us."

The final rushing stats for Duke were anemic: 75 yards on 30 attempts, a 2.5-yard average. But Cutcliffe, after reviewing the game, didn't find it that discomforting, given the opponent. "I think part of it, we missed some opportunities out there, left some yards on the field, particularly in our draw game, our counter game," he said. "I thought we ran the stretch pretty well. But I really think we left some yards on the field where if we finish blocks or see holes. A big part of that is we've had very little live running the football." - Herald Sun

  Notre Dame, ranked 10th nationally in preseason, is a deep football team with few holes in the lineup. The Irish are physical and that rough-and-tumble element of their game took its toll on Duke as the game wore on, with an experienced offensive line pounding at Duke's defensive front. Brice was fine and said it was a fun experience "playing the Golden Domes" in Notre Dame Stadium. Could the Clemson transfer have been better? Yes, as he was the first to say after the game. And especially so inside the Note Dame 10 in the first half when the Blue Devils came away with two field goals and trailed 10-6 at halftime. "We took advantage of some good field position our defense gave us," Brice said.

"But inside the 5 we shot ourselves in the foot both of those times. We put points on the board and that's our goal, but in those situations we wish we could have come out with 7 instead of 3. "We didn't make enough plays. We left some out there, I left some out there. In critical situations and downs we didn't make those plays." With Cutcliffe calling the plays, Brice tried to bootleg to his right on the second red-zone possession. He found himself staring at onrushing defensive end Isaiah Foskey and dumped the ball - initially called intentional grounding, the call was reviewed and made a 10-yard sack. "You just can't make those mistakes in a game like this," Brice said, blaming himself. - Herald Sun

  Duke coach David Cutcliffe, who also has taken over the offensive coordinator duties this year, decided on Brice, a transfer from Clemson, as the No. 1 quarterback after watching him compete in fall camp with Chris Katrenick and Gunnar Holmberg. "I could not be more proud of the three young men who competed for the privilege to be this team's starting quarterback at Notre Dame in the season-opener," Cutcliffe said in a statement. "Chase, Chris (Katrenick) and Gunnar (Holmberg) all have played really well during camp. We have a healthy quarterback room and the competition has made everyone better. Ultimately, Chase has made plays at the highest rate."

Brice was a part of Clemson's 2018 national championship run, serving as the backup to quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The junior is an accurate passer and has the size at 6-3 and 235 pounds to factor into Duke's running game. Brice passed for 581 yards and four touchdowns for the Tigers last season while rushing 14 times for 94 yards and a TD. In 2018, when Lawrence was injured against Syracuse, he came in to lead a 94-yard scoring drive in Clemson's 27-23 comeback win. - The State

  A career reserve, Duke's Chris Katrenick is getting his shot as a No. 1 quarterback this spring. After a knee injury wiped out his 2019 season, Gunnar Holmberg is healthy and getting a copious amount of snaps at quarterback as well as the Blue Devils began spring practices this week. A couple hundred miles away, Chase Brice monitors it all via modern technology, staying in touch with Duke's coaches so he can stay as up to speed as possible while he completes his Clemson degree before enrolling at Duke this summer.

Tasked with replacing departing starting quarterback Quentin Harris, the Blue Devils find themselves in a complicated situation as they decide who will be their new starter this fall. Katrenick and Holmberg have experience in Duke coach David Cutcliffe's program but haven't had enough game repetitions to establish themselves as a clear-cut choice. A transfer, Brice has game experience but can't participate in Duke's spring drills because he's yet to graduate from Clemson. - Herald Sun

  Chase Brice, the former Clemson backup quarterback, is transferring to Duke. The Georgia native posted on Twitter on Sunday that he had committed to Duke. "Thankful for this opportunity," he said, sharing photos of himself in a Duke jersey and standing with head coach David Cutcliffe. Brice will immediately be eligible for the 2020 season after he graduates in May. He will have two seasons of eligibility for Duke. In January, he announced he would transfer from Clemson and continue playing college football elsewhere. He was backup to Clemson's star quarterback Trevor Lawrence. - WRAL Sports
