12/02/22 - Camerun Peoples, rSr/2023, Appalachian State + More +

Fifth-year Appalachian State red shirt junior running back Camerun Peoples announced on Twitter that he has declared for the 2023 NFL Draft on Tuesday, Nov. 29. Peoples ends his college career with 455 carries for 2,830 yards and 33 rushing touchdowns. The 6-2, 220 running back had prolific seasons in 2020 and 2021, but this year was hampered by various injuries paired with a packed running back room that went six players deep in some games. Peoples signed a Letter of Intent to attend Appalachian State in December 2017, after turning down multiple other offers to play for other Division-1 programs - High County Press

11/08/22 - Myles Farmer, rSr/2025, Appalachian State + More +

Nebraska starting safety Myles Farmer has been suspended for Saturday's game at No. 3 Michigan after being ticketed on suspicion of drunken driving last weekend. The 21-year-old Farmer was stopped in downtown Lincoln at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday for a traffic violation, police said Tuesday. The officer observed signs of impairment and additional tests were conducted. Farmer's blood alcohol content was measured at 0.123, police said. The legal limit in Nebraska is 0.08. He was cited for driving under the influence and failure to use a turn signal and was released. "Myles, he made a mistake. He made a bad mistake and we don't condone it," interim coach Mickey Joseph said at his weekly news conference. "We always talk about protect the football team, and he didn't. He will be suspended this week and we'll re-evaluate him after this week." Farmer, who is from Atlanta, made a career-high 14 tackles in the Cornhuskers' 20-13 loss to Minnesota on Saturday, the most by a Nebraska defensive back in two years. His fourth-quarter interception at Rutgers on Oct. 7 set up the Huskers' go-ahead touchdown in a 14-13 win. - AP College Football

10/28/22 - AJ Swann, Jr/2026, Appalachian State + More +

Vanderbilt football freshman quarterback AJ Swann is on track to return for the Commodores' Nov. 5 game against South Carolina, coach Clark Lea said on the SEC coaches teleconference Wednesday. Swann left Saturday's game against Missouri in the third quarter with an injury after a strip-sack and was replaced by backup Mike Wright. The Commodores (3-5, 0-4 SEC) lost the game, 17-14, and have an open week before facing the Gamecocks. "AJ is going to be battling back," Lea said. "I think he's in a good place right now. And of course, obviously, these things take time. And so I feel like we have time and he'll be in a position - my expectation is that he'll be playing against South Carolina. Obviously, we have to give him a chance to heal and to demonstrate that he's ready." - Tennessean
