After the news broke that Jore Volk (125) will miss the remainder of the season with injury, a pair of Cowboys assumed the role of highest ranked on the squad. Joey Novak (197) and Jared Hill (157) each boast as high as the No. 12 spot. Novak owns that post in Flo and Open Mat’s polls and Hill earned that spot in Open Mat’s rankings.

Gabe Willochell (149) moved inside of the top 20. He’s ranked as high as No. 19 in WIN’s poll.

Cole Brooks rounds out the ranked Pokes. He’s No. 30 in InterMat’s rankings.
Wyoming is back in action on Friday and Saturday. The Cowboys participate in the NWCA National Dual Meet Championships inside the UNI-Dome on the campus of Northern Iowa.

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.
