* University of Wyoming press release

LARAMIE -- For the 15th consecutive year, the University of Wyoming men's golf team has earned an Outstanding Team Academic Award from the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA).

The President's Special Recognition Award is presented to college golf programs that have achieved a 3.50 cumulative grade-point average or better for the past academic year. Wyoming was one of only 59 NCAA Division I programs to receive that recognition this year out of 297 Division I programs in the nation.

The GCAA announced its Cobalt Golf All-America Scholars for the 2023-24 season last Thursday and the University of Wyoming men's golf team led the Mountain West and was one of 25 teams in America to have five or more All-America Scholars. The five Cowboys named All-America Scholars are: Patrick Azevedo, Jaren Calkins, Jimmy Dales, Kristof Panke and Davis Seybert.

In order to receive an Outstanding Team Academic Award from the GCAA, a team has to achieve a team grade-point average of 3.00 or above. Wyoming has met that high academic standard every season since the 2009-10 academic year -- 15 consecutive years.

University of Wyoming’s Top 50 Football Players

During the summer of 2021, 7220Sports.com counted down the Top 50 football players in University of Wyoming history, presented by Premier Bone & Joint Centers, Worthy of Wyoming.

The rules are simple: What was the player's impact while in Laramie? That means NFL stats, draft status or any other accolade earned outside of UW is irrelevant when it comes to this list.

This isn't a one-man job. This task called for a panel of experts. Joining 7220's Cody Tucker are Robert Gagliardi, Jared Newland, Ryan Thorburn, and Kevin McKinney.

We all compiled our own list of 50 and let computer averages do the work. Think BCS -- only we hope this catalog is fairer.
