Tyson Charmoli (144) led the way with an All-American performance that consisted of an 8-1 record. He placed third and sprung a trio of upsets – including toppling the No. 1 seed in the third-place match – which helped him easily outperform his No. 9 seed.

John Alden (138) narrowly missed All-American status. He also outperformed his No. 21 seed, going 6-2, which was highlighted by an upset of the No. 4 seed.

Tucker Bowen (126) logged an upset, as well. He went 4-2 and one of those wins occurred against the No. 6 seed.

The aforementioned performances gave Wyoming five All-Americans over the summer. Stockton O’Brien, Josh Kyle and Brett McIntosh also earned recognition for their finishes at U23 Nationals.

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.
