Appalachian State's football team officially reported for fall camp Thursday, 30 days before the Mountaineers open the 2012 campaign at East Carolina.
Ninety-four of the 95 players on the camp roster have been on campus since early July, taking classes and participating in strength training, conditioning and player-led practice sessions. However, Thursday's report date marks the first opportunity for players to move into dormitories as well as the first full team meal and team meeting of the season.
Appalachian will hold the first of 29 practices leading up to the season opener at ECU on Friday. All practices are closed to the general public.
