It was quite the buzz on the Appalachian campus on Saturday as Jason Kelce attended the JMU/App State game.
The retired 13-year career Philadelphia Eagle, now turned broadcaster, was in town to support and help share the story of the area’s resilient response to Hurricane Helene.
Social media documented Kelce's appearance, as you can see some below. App State came from behind after trailing 14-0 to win the game 34-20.
