Kanye Roberts - Logs 7.8 yards per carry Roberts (knee) had four carries for 31 yards during Saturday's 55-3 victory versus Maine.
Impact Even though Roberts was limited against Maine, Roberts averaging more than seven yards per rushing attempt was an impressive feat by the running back. The question becomes whether he can fend off competitors and work his way up to being App State's primary RB. In the weekend, Roberts logged the third-most rushing attempts among Mountaineer running backs (alongside Treyaun Webb), falling just behind both Jaquari Lewis and Ja'Quez Cross.

J'Marion Burnette - Limited during spring game Burnette (undisclosed) logged a rushing attempt during Appalachian State's spring game and did not return, according to David Ware of App State Mania via the G5 Hive podcast.
Impact According to Ware, Burnette had been struggling with injury throughout Appalachian State's spring before being healthy for its game. Despite a strong rush in said matchup, he was seen limping not long after and did not record another carry. Ware believes Burnette is probably fine, and it is worth noting that the spring is not a reasonable time to test out an injury, with meaningful games far ahead. Nonetheless, Burnette enters this fall questionable, though he leans probable based on Ware's statement.
JUNE 12 • ROTOWIRE
Kanye Roberts - Limited in spring ball Roberts (knee) was limited in spring ball and continues to recover from last season's torn ACL, David Ware of App State Mania (via the G5 Hive Podcast) reports.
Impact Roberts suffered a torn ACL ahead of last season and was unable to appear in any game. The 6-foot running back is still working back to full health following the severe injury, but he'll hopefully be back on the field come August. He luckily has plenty of time to rehab ahead of fall camp and the season start.
JUNE 8 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Lofton - Receiving score in spring game Lofton caught a six-yard touchdown from quarterback Malachi Singleton during Appalachian State's spring game, per Dylan Shepherd of The Appalachian.
Impact Lofton caught the score from Singleton in the second half of Saturday's spring game. The connection with Singleton indicates that Lofton has been working with the top group of receivers this spring, giving him prospects for a large role within the App State offense in 2026. The 6-foot receiver joined the Mountaineers after transferring from Gardner-Webb in the offseason, where he caught 56 passes for 934 yards and five touchdowns in 2025.
APRIL 23 • ROTOWIRE
Henry Hasselbeck - Competing for starting job Hasselback is battling Malachi Singleton for the starting job under center, Marvin Parker of ABC13 reports.
Impact Although Singleton was observed taking the first reps under center during the spring game, Hasselback was the next quarterback to take work. The majority of reps was taken by the duo of quarterbacks, but reports indicate Singleton may be in the lead. More news should surface as camp keeps progressing.
APRIL 23 • ROTOWIRE
Malachi Singleton - First team reps in spring game Singleton took first team reps during Appalachian State's spring game, per Marvin Parker of WLOS.com.
Impact Singleton split first team reps with fellow quarterback Henry Hasselbeck during the App State spring game on Saturday. Singleton joined the Mountaineers after transferring in from Purdue in the offseason. The 6-foot-1 sophomore threw for 439 yards and five touchdowns with a pair of interceptions to go along with 202 yards and a touchdown on the ground across 11 games for the Boilermakers in 2025. Singleton and Hasselbeck are expected to be the main competitors for the starting gig heading into the 2026 season in Boone.
