Gillette Product Kayden LaFramboise Entering Transfer Portal
LARAMIE -- A third Wyoming wideout has hit the open market.
Gillette product Kayden LaFramboise Sunday announced via social media he would be entering the NCAA Transfer Portal, joining fellow receivers Tyler "TK" King and Justin Stevenson.
The 6-foot-4, 210-pound sophomore has three seasons of eligibility remaining.
"After a lot of thought and prayer, I’ve decided to enter the transfer portal," LaFramboise penned on X. "I’m grateful for the opportunities and experiences I’ve had at Wyoming, and I want to thank my coaches, teammates, and everyone who has supported me along the way. Excited to see what’s next."
After redshirting during his first season on campus, LaFramboise was a special-teams contributor in 2024. He did not record a stat.
He did reel in a 37-yard touchdown strike from Evan Svoboda in last April's spring game inside War Memorial Stadium.
The former Thunder Basin standout was a unanimous First Team Class 4A All-State selection as a wide receiver after hauling in 81 passes for 1,151 yards as a senior. That was the standard in the state in 2022. He also snagged 13 touchdown passes and added three more on the ground.
LaFramboise is the 13th player to leave the program this December. Eight of those -- tackle Jaden Williams, linebacker Read Sunn, Cornerback Naz Hill, safeties Nikos Varelas, Koa McIntyre and Miles Tucker, along with edge rushers Ethan Day and Braden Siders -- have come on the defensive side of the ball.
Running back Dawaiian McNeely joins the trio of wide receivers on the open market.
Senior linebacker Cole DeMarzo announced earlier this month he would retire from the game with one season of eligibility remaining.

Wyoming has added to its wide receiver room this offseason with the portal acquisition of Eric Richardson, who caught 25 passes for 411 yards and six touchdowns during his final year at Northwest Missouri State. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
The Cowboys' leading receiver Jaylen Sargent (23 catches, 480 yards, two touchdowns), along with Chris Durr Jr. (31 catches, 348 yards, touchdown) are expected to be in the fold in 2024. So is tight end John Michael Gyllenborg, who capped his junior year with 425 yards on 30 grabs. He also scored three times.
Sawvel and Co. also inked freshmen Pierre "PJ" Jackson (Chicago), Ke'lyn Washom (Houston) and, arguably the gem of the 2025 class, Deion DeBlanc (Houston), who turned down offers from Oregon, Arizona State and Arkansas, among many other Power-4 programs.
DeBlanc, along with incoming Gillette quarterback Mason Drube, will be early enrollees this spring.
Wyoming will now look to add a pair of veteran receivers through the portal, according to a source familiar with the situation. One of those offers has already been extended to former Arizona pass catcher Jackson Holman. The 6-foot-4, 208-pound redshirt freshman appeared in seven games last season, mainly on the Wildcats' special-teams unit.
