Joey Novak (197) is No. 13 in Flo and Open Mat’s polls. Novak is 6-3 but didn’t wrestle in Wyoming’s most recent dual at Penn State because of an injury.

Cole Brooks (141) moved up a bit to No. 26 in InterMat’s rankings. He possesses a 4-5 record.

Sam Mitchell (HWT) reappeared once again in the rankings, checking in at No. 26 in Flo’s poll. He’s 4-1 on the season, having only competed at the Younes Hospitality Open in November.

Wyoming is back in action this weekend at the Reno Tournament of Champions. A select number of Cowboys will compete inside the Reno Events Center on Sunday beginning at 10 a.m.

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.
