The worldwide recognition that continues to pour in for Appalachian State University football reached new heights on Wednesday when its monumental upset over Michigan was chronicled on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

This week’s SI cover features senior wide receiver Dexter Jackson scoring the first of his two touchdowns in front of 109,218 at the “Big House.” The headline reads “Alltime Upset: Appalachian State Stuns No. 5 Michigan.”

Considered one of the crowning achievements in all of sports, Appalachian is the first current football member of the Southern Conference and the first college football team from the state of North Carolina to grace the cover of SI in the last 35 years.

The Sept. 10 issue of Sports Illustrated hits newsstands on Wednesday.
