Swann throws, Dubinion runs as Appalachian State rolls over Charlotte in Loggains' debut The Mountaineers claim victory in Dowell Loggains' debut as head coach
Justin Olson - Two receptions for 56 yards Olson (lower body) logged two receptions for 56 yards during Friday's 34-11 defeat against Appalachian State.
Impact With one game, Olson's 2025 is already better than his 2024. Unhealthy that year, he barely logged two receptions for 35 yards. Olson not only matched the catch tally Friday but also surpassed his 2024's yardage. In both years, he established himself as a deep threat, so all that seems to be stopping him now are health and in-game opportunities.

Adam Hopkins IV - Does not play Friday Hopkins (lower leg) did not play during UNC Charlotte's 34-11 loss Friday against Appalachian State.
Impact It appears that because of Hopkins' lower-leg injury, he did not play Friday. However, it is worth noting that even if available, he may log DNPs. Hopkins' latest could be because of injury but also due to preference.

Correction: Appalachian St-Charlotte story
In a story published Aug. 29, 2025, about Appalachian State's football win over Charlotte, The Associated Press erroneously reported that Dowell Loggains was Charlotte's head coachAUGUST 30, 2025 • Associated Press
Henry Rutledge - Dealing with lower-body injury Rutledge is dealing with a lower body injury, according to Hunter Bailey of The Charlotte Observer.
Impact Rutledge has yet to practice, and the fact that he's dealing with a lower body injury suggests he won't be available for Week 1. This means the 49ers will be thin in terms of depth at running back.

AJ Swann - Drawing start in Week 1 Swann was the starter for Friday's game against UNC Charlotte, according to App Weekly News.
Impact Swann spent his first two seasons at Vanderbilt and played for LSU in the 2024 campaign, but he's expected to have a bigger role for Appalachian State right out of the gate. This is his final season of college eligibility.
