Carroll is a transfer from Iowa State. He went 5-5 during the early portions of last season for the Cyclones before sustaining a season-ending injury.

Henry is an incoming freshman from Brownsburg, Indiana. He claimed a high school state title this past season.

Saenz was 8-7 in 2024-25 for Wyoming. He received two dual starts and had a total of four bonus-point victories.

A U23 World Team spot is potentially at stake this weekend. The spot automatically goes to a Senior National Team member, however, if a National Team member isn’t available at that weight, the spot then goes to the tournament winner.

The event stretches from Saturday to Sunday. It is broadcast on Flo.

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.

For those of you not familiar with the Cowboy State, those are Wyoming's third through sixth most inhabited cities, along with the small mining town in Campbell County.
