The first of 15 practices this spring saw the Cowboys hit the field in helmets and shorts with the first day in full pads coming on Saturday.

What Head Coach Jay Sawvel Had to Say
"Fun to get back out on the field, but we have a lot of work to do. Our biggest focus is how we start plays in our alignment, assignment and where our eyes go along with footwork and hand placement, and we have improved on that. I like the effort of the group and we will watch the video and go to the next day."

A New Crop of Cowboys
The Cowboys had 19 players appear in their first practice in the Brown and Gold on Tuesday. Of the 19 new players 16 are transfers to the program from four levels of college football, as the group features an experienced core. Wyoming also saw three recent high school graduates join the team for the spring.

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.
