2026 Recruiting Class Snapshot | December Signing Day
The Appalachian State Mountaineers signed a program-record 29-player recruiting class during the early signing period in December 2025, marking the first full signing class under head coach Dowell Loggains. The class was rated the highest in school history and ranked first in the Sun Belt for the 2026 cycle, with a national ranking inside the Top 60.
The group features a balanced mix of 23 high school signees, five junior college players and one Division II transfer, addressing needs across both lines of scrimmage and key skill positions as the Mountaineers continue reshaping the roster heading into the February signing period.
Class breakdown:
- 29 total signees
- 10 offensive linemen, 4 edge defenders, 3 defensive linemen
- 6 total pass-catchers (3 wide receivers, 3 tight ends)
- Multi-state footprint, led by South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina
- Majority of signees projected to enroll early
