App State’s Baer Hunter has been named to the watch list for the Rimington Trophy, which goes to the nation’s top center.
The 6-foot-2, 300-pound super senior is a two-time All-Sun Belt selection who moved to center in the spring after starting the last 31 games at right guard. Change isn’t new to him, though, considering he began his App State career as a defensive lineman and spent time at tight end before becoming a standout offensive lineman who has 38 total starts entering the 2021 season.
“The transition has been great,” Hunter said Thursday at Sun Belt Media Day in New Orleans. “You guys will be able to see all the hard work I’ve put in. The motivation behind it? I love my teammates, and I love Appalachian State.”
