With 17 days until kickoff, we’re gonna try to focus daily on a different App we can’t wait to see in action!

NO. 57 – BRETT IRVIN

POSITION: Offensive lineman, last year’s starter at center.

VITALS: 6-0, 275 pounds. Junior.

CAREER STATS: Has played 28 career games, starting in 16. All starts were at center except one – his second – at tight end against Georgia Southern in 2007.

MOORE PRAISE: Coach considers Irvin the “most underrated player” not only on the team but in SoCon.

DEPEND ON IT: Irvin started at center for all 14 games last season, and was part of the first App State O-line since 1989 to feature a regular starting five for every game.

ALL-TIME DEBUT: As a redshirt freshman, started the first college game he ever played – at Michigan. Completed 72 snaps while protecting AE. The rest is history.

IT’S A MAGIC NUMBER: As a freshman he helped App State win a third title. It was also his third, joining his two SC 4-A state titles from high school.

FROM TEAMMATE TO TERRIER: In high school, Irvin played with current Wofford wide receiver standout Andy Strickland.
