Emory Floyd finds new home with former South Carolina coach
Former South Carolina defensive back Emory Floyd has found his new home with a former Gamecocks coach.
Floyd will play for former South Carolina offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains at Appalachian State, Floyd announced over the weekend.
Loggains landed the App State head job in December after two seasons in Columbia.
Floyd is not the only former South Carolina player who could end up in Boone, N.C.
Quarterback Dante Reno reportedly was set to visit App State this weekend, while the Mountaineers are also trying to make a run at offensive lineman Kam Pringle, GamecockCentral has learned.
