Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. As such, it is important to us that Appalachian State will be inducting five new members to its Athletic Hall of Fame.
They will be officially inducted on October 25.
The Class of 2024 is:
Marcus Cox, Football, 2013-16. Cox is the only player in school history to have four 1,000-yard rushing seasons, and his 5,103 Rushing Yards is a school record. He is a four-time All-Conference Selection, had 52 Rushing Touchdowns, and helped the Mountaineers win their first Sun Belt Conference Championship in 2016.
Lynett Shakeel, Women’s Track & Field, 1986-90. Shakeel was a four-time So-Con Champion in four outdoor 4x100 relays and is arguably one of the most successful relay runners in school history.
Nate McKinney, Football, 1999-2002. A First Team All-American as a Punter, he was also named the Southern Conference All-Decade Punter for the first decade of the 2000s.
Chip Miller, Football, 1991-95. Miller was a two-time First Team All-American Defensive End and was a senior on a Mountaineers team that went 12-1.
Austin Trotman, Wrestling, 2007-12. Trotman was Appalachian State’s first four-time NCAA Championship qualifier, and he had an overall 129-34 record. He was named the SoCon Male Athlete of the Year in 2012.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the impending members of the University of Appalachian State Athletic Hall of Fame.
