Eastern Michigan University Head Football Coach Chris Creighton continued to add to his roster for the upcoming 2021 campaign, as the Eagles added a pair of "Power 5" transfers to the program today, May 19. Defensive back Jarrett Paul (Brooklyn, N.Y.-Paramus Catholic-Rutgers) and wide receiver I'Shawn Stewart (Bolingbrook, Ill.-Bolingbrook-Oregon State) join 25 others that EMU has previously signed to the roster.

Paul, who attended Rutgers University, was ranked as a three-star recruit by 247Sports and the No. 24 overall recruit in New Jersey by Rivals.com. He notched 45 tackles (23 solo, 22 assist) in 23 career games for the Scarlet Knights before transferring. In 2019, Paul tied for the team lead with 27 tackles against the pass. He collected a season-high 10 tackles versus Boston College (Sept. 21) and led the team with eight stops and broke up a pass at No. 20 Michigan (Sept. 28). A transfer from Oregon State University, Stewart was rated amongst the top 30 prospects in the state of Illinois by 247Sports out of high school. In three seasons with the Beavers, he appeared in two games during the 2019 campaign, making his collegiate debut against Cal Poly (Sept. 14) and then taking the field against Stanford (Sept. 28). - Ann Arbor News

04/23/21 - Chase Brice, rSr/2023, Appalachian State, 6-2, 236 (DS#19 QB) + More +

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

03/31/21 - Baer Hunter, rSr/2022, Appalachian State, 6-2, 297 (DS#25 C) + More +

When Appalachian State needed an extra tight end during the 2017 football season, the West Forsyth grad shifted off the defensive line to offense. When the Mountaineers wanted to add depth on the O-line the next season, Hunter moved inward. He ended up establishing himself as a three-year starter at right guard, becoming an All-Sun Belt first-teamer at that in the 2020 season. Back for the extra year of eligibility given by the NCAA, Hunter has made one more move. This time, it's to the left one spot. He'll be tasked with snapping duties, as well trying to take over for four-year starter Noah Hannon at center. "We've got a lot of work to do, and everybody in here knows it,' Hunter said. "I've got a lot of work to do myself, and I try to come here every day with a lot of energy so that I can learn that center position and get better every single day because I mean, I've got a lot to learn. "I feel like I'm playing well right now, but I want to be great." - Winston-Salem Journal

03/07/21 - Camerun Peoples, rSr/2023, Appalachian State, 6-1, 217 (DS#21 RB) + More +

Serving as one of three options out of the backfield, Peoples used the end of the season to surge ahead and become a 1,100-yard rusher. He ran for 317 of those yards in the Myrtle Beach Bowl, a five-touchdown performance that was an exclamation point to end a long and difficult season. Peoples will be part of a talented running back group once again, which speedster Nate Noel and adds transfer Jahmir Smith from Notre Dame. Daetrich Harrington is also on the mend from an injury that forced him out of the last six games of last season. - Winston-Salem Journal

Starting with a Thursday night game against East Carolina to kick off the college football season in North Carolina, App State will play an exciting 2021 fall schedule in head coach Shawn Clark's second full season at the helm. The Mountaineers, moving forward from a 9-3 campaign and the program's sixth straight bowl win in as many tries, will kick off the fall with back-to-back games in NFL stadiums. A Sept. 2 neutral-site tilt against ECU will be held at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, followed by a Sept. 11 road game at Miami, played at Hard Rock Stadium. Kidd Brewer Stadium will host six games this fall, starting with nonconference matchups against Elon (Sept. 18) and Marshall (Sept. 25). The season ticket renewal deadline is April 30, after which App State plans to sell new season tickets. - High County Press

UW retained a veteran player in Davis on Monday, but lost another in senior safety Madison Cone. Cone has entered the NCAA transfer portal, the fourth Badger to do so this season and the second safety after Dante Caputo did the same in mid-January. Cone played in 35 games on defense and special teams, making two starts. He tallied 27 total tackles and two interceptions in his time as a Badger. - Wisconsin State Journal

02/02/21 - Jahmir Smith, rSr/2022, Appalachian State, 5-10, 205 (DS#999 RB) + More +

Former Notre Dame running back Jahmir Smith will continue his playing career in his home state of North Carolina. On Monday, Smith announced he committed to Appalachian State as a graduate transfer. Smith stepped away from Notre Dame's football program in October and cited needing to improve his mental health as a reason. Smith later entered the NCAA's transfer portal. The 5-foot-11, 205-pound Smith played in Notre Dame's 2020 season opener against Duke, but he did not play again during his junior season. Smith rushed five times for 15 yards as a backup running back against Duke. Smith, who joined the Irish as a three-star recruit out of Sanford (N.C.) Lee County in the 2018 class, finished his Notre Dame career with 53 carries for 223 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games played. - South Bend Tribune

01/21/21 - Chase Brice, rSr/2023, Appalachian State, 6-2, 236 (DS#19 QB) + More +

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

12/24/20 - Zac Thomas, rSr/2021, Appalachian State, 6-1, 205 (DS#18 QB) + More +

Appalachian State completed a 9-3 season with a 56-28 win over North Texas State in the Myrtle Beach Bowl on Monday. Starting quarterback Zac Thomas, who threw for 20 touchdowns with 11 interceptions this season while completing 63.7% of his passes, declared for the NFL draft on Tuesday. That leaves the Mountaineers in need of an experienced quarterback next season. Brice intends to take advantage of that opportunity. - Herald Sun

12/24/20 - Chase Brice, rSr/2023, Appalachian State, 6-2, 236 (DS#19 QB) + More +

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
