Jackson to start at QB against Samford

Coach Jerry Moore of Appalachian State ended potential suspense earlier today and named Jamal Jackson as starting quarterback for Saturday’s game against Samford.

Jackson, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound sophomore, made his first start last Saturday in a 49-42 victory over The Citadel. He completed 21 of 27 passes for 234 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions.

Jackson started in place of senior DeAndre Presley, who sat out Saturday’s game with a right shoulder injury. Presley took some snaps at quarterback in practice Monday, but Moore said that he might see time at another position as well.
