After completing his bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, he pursued his graduate studies at Princeton where he earned his master’s degree in civil and environmental engineering in June 2007 and his Ph.D. in January 2011. Franz was also a team captain of Wyoming’s 2004 Las Vegas Bowl Championship Team.

Luke Ruff Wyoming's Most Recent First Team Academic All-American, 2012 Luke Ruff, a civil engineering major with a 3.66 cumulative grade-point average was named First Team Capital One Academic All-American in 2012.

The University of Wyoming Football program has enjoyed a rich tradition of attracting outstanding student-athletes to UW. The quality of these young men is perhaps best represented by the number of Academic All-Americans who have worn the Cowboy colors. Since 1952, when the College Sports Information Directors of America began selecting Academic All-America teams, the University of Wyoming has produced 18 First Team Academic All-Americans. In both 1996 and 1997, Wyoming’s football program led the nation in First Team honorees with two First Team selections in 1996 and three in 1997. The most recent honoree was senior free safety Luke Ruff in 2012. Ruff graduated from UW in 2013, earning a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering with a 3.66 cumulative grade-point average. He chose to continue his graduate studies at the University of Wyoming, where he completed his master’s degree in environmental engineering in December 2014. At the conclusion of his undergraduate studies, Ruff was chosen to receive an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship, helping him to pursue his graduate studies in engineering at Wyoming. Among his other honors were: being named a semifinalist for the National Football Foundation’s William V. Campbell Trophy, also referred to as the “Academic Heisman”; being selected as one of 30 football national finalists for the Senior CLASS Award; and being honored by the National Football Foundation as a 2013 Hampshire Honor Society member. He was a 2012 Preseason First Team All-Mountain West Conference selection by conference media members. His junior season, Ruff earned Second Team All-Mountain West Conference honors for his achievements on the football field.

THE AND THE The annual Wyoming-Colorado State “Border War” football game has evolved into one of the most bitterly contested rivalries in college football. The series began in 1899, and has been played in three different centuries. Wyoming and CSU have waged the “Border War” every year but six since the schools began playing, and the 2021 season will mark the 76th consecutive season the two border rivals will meet, dating back to 1946. This year will mark the 113th overall meeting. In 1968, the ROTC detachments of the respective schools initiated the “Bronze Boot”, traveling trophy awarded to the winner of the contest each year. The Boot was originally worn in Vietnman by Dan Romero, a CSU ROTC instructor. The boot has rested in UW’s possession in 28 of the 53 years since its inception. The “Bronze Boot” has become one of the most famous traveling trophies in college football. This year’s 2021 meeting will be the 54th time the trophy has been fought over.

The statue “Fanning a Twister”, Twister”, depicting the great Wyoming bucking horse Steamboat was erected in 1991 north of War Memorial Stadium to welcome visitors to the University of Wyoming Athletics complex. Sculptor Peter Fillerup from Cody, Wyo., created “Fanning a Twister”.

SYMBOL OF WYOMING Cowboy Tough Statue The sculpture “Cowboy Tough” was added to the UW Athletics facilities in the early 2000s. Casper, Wyo., artist Chris Navarro created this new bucking horse and rider sculpture. There are two full-size originals of the statue that are located in the UW Athletics Department — one is on the second floor of the Rochelle Athletics Center and the second sits at the north endzone of War Memorial Stadium. It has become a tradition for the Wyoming Cowboy players and coaches to touch “Cowboy Tough” as they enter and exit the field at War Memorial Stadium on gamedays.

The symbol on the Wyoming Cowboy football helmet depicts a Cowboy riding a bucking horse. That symbol has been a part of the University of Wyoming Athletics Department since the early 1920s, when UW equipment manager Deane Hunton obtained a photograph of cowboy Guy Holt riding the world famous bucking horse “Steamboat” at the Albany County fairgrounds in 1903. Hunton traced the photo of Steamboat and Holt and turned it into a logo for use on athletics equipment. Steamboat was born on a ranch between Laramie and Bosler, Wyo., in 1901, and is regarded as one of the greatest bucking horses in history. In later years, the symbol used by Wyoming Athletics more closely resembled the logo on the state’s automobile license plates., which depicted another famous bucking horse “Deadman” with a rider by the name of “Stub” Farlow atop it. “Deadman” was owned by the Jackson Hole Frontier Association. The license plate design was developed by the then Secretary of State, Lester C. Hunt, who later became the Governor of Wyoming and a United States Senator in 1935. Hunt utilized a photograph of “Deadman” and Farlow for the design of the state’s license plates, which first appeared in 1936. While there are differing opinions on exactly which horse and rider are depicted on all of UW’s athletics uniforms today, it is the symbol that is important. The bucking horse and rider represents the toughness, and the never-say-die spirit that is Wyoming. Whether it is “Steamboat” or “Deadman”, the bucking horse and rider logo is without a doubt one of the best and most distinctive symbols in college sports.

Stadium Dedication

2005 — First Season of Artificial Turf In 2005, artificial turf was installed in War Memorial Stadium for the first time after 55 seasons of featuring a natural grass surface in the stadium. This photo from the 2005 TCU game shows the artificial surface that was installed in the summer of 2005 at a cost of slightly more than $1 million. In conjunction with the installation of the artificial surface, the field at War Memorial Stadium was named Jonah Field to recognize a very generous gift of $5 million by the John and Mari Ann Martin and Mick and Susie McMurry families to the UW Athletics Department. The Martin and McMurry families developed the Jonah Field natural gas field in western Wyoming.

Sept. 23, 1950, Versus Baylor War Memorial Stadium was dedicated on Sept. 23, 1950, in a game versus Baylor. The Bears came to Laramie nationally ranked. They were led by quarterback Hayden Fry, who later went on to a College Hall of Fame career as head coach at SMU and Iowa. But Wyoming recorded a 7-0 victory over the Bears led by single-wing tailback Eddie “Boom Boom” Talboom, who would also later be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a player. Wyoming went on to achieve an undefeated season, 10-0-0, and earned the school’s first bowl bid to the 1951 Gator Bowl.

AT WAR MEMORIAL STADIUM

The words Jonah Field are displayed prominently on the playing surface in War Memorial Stadium to recognize the generous gift of the John and Mari Ann Martin and Mick and Susie McMurry families.

Martin and McMurry Gift Makes Jonah Field Surface Possible The University of Wyoming named the playing surface at War Memorial Stadium, “Jonah Field” following a $5 million gift from the John and Mari Ann Martin and Mick and Susie McMurry families. Pictured at the press conference are left to right: UW’s former NCAA 400-meter hurdle champion Shauna Smith, Senator Alan K. Simpson, Susie McMurry, the late Mick McMurry, John Martin, Mari Ann Martin and former UW quarterback Corey Bramlet. For the 2013 college football season, a brand new FieldTurf Revolution playing surface with a distinctive Wyoming design was unveiled on Jonah Field at War Memorial Stadium. The new surface was installed in June 2013, and was selected by Wyoming Athletics due to its elite-level playability. FieldTurf has been installed at many of the top NCAA and NFL football stadiums in the country for its grass-like performance and safety. Jonah Field will continue as the name of Wyoming Football’s playing surface to commemorate the generous donations to UW Athletics by Casper entrepreneurs Susie and the late Mick McMurry and John and Mari Ann Martin and their families. Sporting one of the finest grass gridirons for its first 55 seasons, the initial switch to artifical turf was completed in August of 2005. The Martin and McMurry families donated $5 million to UW Athletics in May 2005. That gift was matched by the state of Wyoming for a total of $10 million. The new surface was originally named Jonah Field to recognize not only the prolific natural gas field in Sublette County (Wyoming) that made the Martin-McMurry gift possible, but also to recognize the financial contributions to state funding projects, including higher education, made over time by Wyoming’s extractive industries. Gifts totalling $2 million by George and Dianna Archuleta of La Barge and Ron and Linda Flack of Cheyenne, launched UW’s Intercollegiate Athletics capital campaign for facilities. Their gifts were made in March of 2004. Many other alumni, friends and Cowboy supporters also contributed through the Strategic Plan for Intercollegiate Athletics, The new elements of the 2013 design include the words “Jonah Field” prominently displayed on both sidelines. A depiction of Wyoming’s iconic Teton Mountains are prevalent in both end zones along with the traditional words “WYOMING” and “COWBOYS” in brown on a gameday gold background in opposite end zones. Those words appear in a new western-style font. Also new is the lettering “7220 Feet” on both sidelines, indicating the elevation of War Memorial Stadium as the highest NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision field in the nation. Wyoming’s traditional “Steamboat” symbol of a bucking horse and rider will remain at midfield in brown, outlined in white and gameday gold. The field design was provided by award-winning graphic designer David Coleman, who is a Wyoming native and UW graduate. The project was supervised by the Mountain West Regional Manager for FieldTurf, Jed Easterbrook, who is also a UW graduate and Cowboy baseball letterwinner.

War Memorial Stadium is the only state-and privately-funded memorial to Wyoming veterans, but when it was dedicated it honored only those who served in World War II. The Veterans’ Memorial Plaza honors the veterans of all other wars, thereby making the entire stadium truly a Wyoming veterans’ memorial.

THE MEMORIAL PLAZA Cowboy fans have witnessed the glory of Wyoming Football in the beautiful confines of War Memorial Stadium since 1950. However, the magnificent football venue, along with its fieldhouse counterpart, had very humble beginnings. The very thought of the two structures started out as just a dream by the UW Board of Trustees at the end of World War II in 1946. The ‘War to End All Wars’ hit the University of Wyoming hard, as many of its students left school to serve their country. But at the conclusion of the war, UW President George ‘Duke’ Humphrey, Athletics Director Glenn ‘Red’ Jacoby and the UW Board of Trustees started a state-wide campaign to help raise additional money for the construction of a new football stadium and basketball fieldhouse for the Cowboys. The two structures would be living memorials to honor those Wyoming natives who served in World War II. The Board of Trustees believed that such facilities would serve an important role in the physical development of Wyoming’s future generations. On September 16, 1950, the Cowboys downed Montana State 61-13 in their new stadium. A week later, September 23, 1950, President Humphrey, along with Athletics Director Jacoby, dedicated War Memorial Stadium to over thirty-thousand Wyoming veterans who bravely served in World War II. The Gen. Pete Schoomaker, former U.S. Pokes went on to win their second home game in the stadium, 7-0 over Baylor. Army Chief of Staff who lettered for the “War Memorial Stadium is a state memorial to our war heroes. Surely, there could be no better way Cowboys from 1966 to 1968, spoke to the people of Wyoming could memorialize the men and women of our state who served so bravely in the team prior to a game. World War II,” said Jacoby in 1950. Since World War II, many citizens of Wyoming have served their country during times of conflict. Some even gave the ultimate sacrifice for the values of freedom, independence and liberty — values every person in Wyoming holds close to their heart. The University of Wyoming, along with the Veterans’ Memorial Plaza committee dedicated an addition to this beautiful stadium in 2003. The Veterans’ Memorial Plaza recognizes all Wyoming veterans who have bravely and faithfully served their country in any time of armed conflict. This dedication makes true to the title “War Memorial Stadium”. In 2017, the Veterans’ Memorial Plaza was moved to the northeast corner of War Memorial Stadium. The Veterans’ Memorial Plaza was funded almost identically to how the stadium was funded. The committee received funds from the Wyoming State Legislature, University of Wyoming, the Wyoming Governor’s Office, along with veterans, corporations and general public donations. War Memorial Stadium was funded in the same manner as the Wyoming State Legislature and public donations footed much of the cost of its construction. Prior to its move to the northeast corner of War Memorial Stadium in 2017, the Plaza was separated into two sections in the north end zone. As you looked north, the section on the right displayed flags of every military branch: Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard and Merchant Marines. That structure also featured a dedication plaque to all Wyoming veterans, as well as two plaques listing all contributors to the memorial funding. The section to the left proudly displayed the United States flag and Wyoming’s state flag, along with the P.O.W./M.I.A. banner. The original plaque that dedicated War Memorial Stadium to the veterans of World War II on September 23, 1950, also is located there as is a plaque presented to UW by Vice President Dick Cheney on Veterans Day 1999 (during the 20th Century Commemorative of Veterans celebration.) The Veterans’ Memorial Plaza honors the bravery and faithful service Wyoming veterans have given our country for over half a century. A nation, along with the state of Wyoming, will forever be indebted.

WAR MEMORIAL STADIUM’S STADIUM CLUB AND SUITES

A look inside one of the 12 suites contained in the Wildcatter Stadium Club & Suites. An exciting new facility, offering University of Wyoming Football fans the advantages of indoor, luxury seating, began construction in the spring of 2009 and was named the Wildcatter Stadium Club & Suites at War Memorial Stadium. The new facility project was completed for the start of the 2010 football season. A total of 12 individual suites along with a stadium-club area that contains 256 indoor seats is located on the upper east side of War Memorial Stadium and is named after the many successful “Wildcatters” of Wyoming. A Wildcatter is a person who displays the strength and courage to risk drilling oil or gas wells in areas where there is no guarantee that oil or gas will be found. The project was funded with private donations and matching funds appropriated by the Wyoming State Legislature. The world-renown architecture and design firm Populous served as designer for the Wildcatter Stadium Club & Suites at War Memorial Stadium. Populous has designed athletic facilities around the world for the past 25 years. Included in its recent projects are: the University of Phoenix Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals of the NFL; Heinz Field, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers; a renovation of the University of Oklahoma Stadium; the new Busch Stadium, home of the St. Louis Cardinals; AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants; the new Yankee Stadium; and the London 2012 Olympic Stadium. In connection with the Wildcatter Stadium Club & Suites at War Memorial Stadium, the new War Memorial Stadium east side renovation was completed at the same time. The renovation of the east side of War Memorial included improved seating, enhanced concession areas and improved and expanded restroom facilities for fans.

“PEPSI PREGAME ZONE” PROVIDES EXCEPTIONAL TAILGATING EXPERIENCE FOR WYOMING FOOTBALL FANS

Wyoming football fans were offered a new tailgating experience in 2014 as the “Pepsi Pregame Zone” kicked off a new era of Cowboy Football. The “Pepsi Pregame Zone” shifted the pregame tailgating area to the Indoor Practice Facility and Ford Stadium Lot, and incorporated a new “Tailgate Alley” adjacent to Indoor Practice Facility. “Fan Fest” was held for all six home games in 2014. It was open to all fans, and kicked off three hours prior to each home football game in the Indoor Practice Facility. Food and drink vendors, WYO merchandise sales, kids’ games and activities, live music and televised national football games were featured for fans’ enjoyment. “Taligate Alley”, adjacent to the south side of the Indoor Practice Facility and at the north end of the Ford Stadium Lot, was a reserved area for the truest of tailgaters. Reserved spots in “Tailgate Alley” are limited, so make your reservations with the Cowboy Joe Club now for the coming season. The “Pepsi Pregame Zone” provides a fun, family atmosphere for Wyoming fans -- many of whom drive several hours from every corner of the Equality State to come cheer on their Pokes. Fans can share some food and drink as they talk about the day’s upcoming game, while their kids play a game of catch. Others listen to a local band, or wait to see Wyoming’s marching band, “Western Thunder”, make their regular appearance prior to every home game.

…BEAUTIFUL COLLEGE TOWN

One of the best things about Laramie is its location between two beautiful mountain ranges — the Snowy Range to the west and the Laramie Range to the east. It’s a place of blue skies and clean air. Much of the area surrounding Laramie is public National Forest land. That means great access! You can head for the nearby mountains and find yourself on a hiking, biking or skiing trail within 15 minutes. There’s also nearby rock climbing at the impressive Vedauwoo formations. You can be downhill skiing in the Snowy Range within 45 minutes. Laramie is convenient to the world-class skiing offered in Steamboat Springs and other nearby resorts. For a different kind of fun, you can be in Denver within two and a half hours. There is an amazing array of culture throughout the area, plus the tremendous sports heritage of the Rockies, Broncos, Nuggets and Avalanche. With its colorful Western heritage, cultural activities and outstanding outdoor recreation, the Laramie area captivates visitors from all over the world.

…THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE IT They say it’s beauty is like no other, and you fall in love with its people. Wyoming, it is like no place on earth. Within it’s boundaries is America’s first and largest national park, Yellowstone. The unbounding beauty there includes “Old Faithful” geyser and Yellowstone Lake, the world’s largest high-mountain lake. There is Yellowstone Falls, so awe-inspiring, it’ll take your breath away. There are over 260 different species of animals and birds located there. Wyoming’s wonders seem to be unending. There is Grand Teton National Park, whose centerpiece is the spectacular Teton Mountain Range. There is Devil’s Tower, America’s first national monument. There is the world’s largest mineral hot springs located in Thermopolis. There is the beauty of Ten Sleep Canyon and a hundred other places. For breathtaking beauty, Wyoming is unmatched. Its reputation brings millions of visitors to its borders each year. Plus, some of the best skiing in America can be found in Wyoming. Tourists and sportsmen can’t wait to get here to enjoy the clean mountain air and limitless outdoor attractions. The history of the great American West can be heard whistling through the trees of Wyoming. Wyoming had an historic place in the taming of the West in the late 1800’s. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were two of Wyoming’s most famous citizens during the era of lawlessness. There remain plenty of reminders of an age that will live forever in American lore. People are Wyoming’s strongest resource. These folks are down to earth, friendly and helpful. And, oh how proud they are of their Cowboys. Wyoming has some of the best fans in America. As their only four-year university, Wyoming folks are tremendously supportive of their teams. Yet, as down to earth as they are, many Wyomingites are on the cutting edge of politics, entertainment and business. Among some of the most famous are: former Vice President of the United States Dick Cheney; the late Dr. Jerry Buss, owner of the Los Angeles Lakers; Dean Conger, former chief photographer of the National Geographic Society; the late Curt Gowdy, the most decorated national sportscaster in history; Alan Simpson, former United States Senator; Gerry Spence, attorney and television personality; and General Pete Schoomaker, former U.S. Army Chief of Staff.

With NCAA Granting Student-Athletes an Extra Year of Eligibility, Wyoming, Like Many Teams, Will Return a Deep, Veteran Squad

he 2021 college football season is poised to be one of the most anticipated seasons in years. One reason for that is the desire of fans to return to normalcy after many activities, including college football, were altered last year due to COVID-19 issues. Another reason the 2021 season will be a unique season is because of the NCAA’s decision to grant student-athletes an extra year of eligibility. That means that numerous teams around the country, including the Wyoming Cowboys, will be returning teams that are more experienced and deeper than in a normal season. Wyoming returns 22 of 24 starters from last year’s squad -- all 11 defensive starters, 10 of 11 offensive starters and its starting place-kicker. Only one starting wide receiver and UW’s punter are missing from last season’s starting group. Add to that the likes of sophomore quarterback Sean Chambers, junior defensive tackle Ravontate Holt and senior offensive tackle Alonzo Velazquez, who each missed the 2020 season due to injury and 2019 Freshman All-America defensive end Solomon Byrd, who opted out of the 2020 season, and you have a deep and talented group of Cowboys ready to welcome fans back to War Memorial Stadium.

“It was encouraging to see the development of a lot of players who were able to take advantage of our strength and conditioning program this past winter and spring,” said Bohl. “Last year was a trying year, but there have been many positives that came out of that experience. “We are definitely pleased by the depth we have on our team entering this coming season. We’re much deeper than we’ve been since I’ve been our head coach. That is going to be important as we get into a rigorous season. “I think there is going to be better play throughout college football this season. Schools have been able to return to a normal spring practice, we’ve had an uninterrupted summer conditioning period and we’ll have a normal fall camp. Those are all pillars of what we’ve built Cowboy Football on, so we hope to leverage all those factors into putting a good team on the field this year. At the same time, RUNNING BACK we are very mindful of the fact that a lot of other schools have the same advantages this year. “It is going to be important for us to start fast and finish stronger. I think where you will really see the experience play out for us and other teams that are fortified with depth is when we get to the back end of the season.”

XAZAVIAN VALLADAY

Depth and Experience

The 2020 season was of course unlike any season in college football history, and the 2021 season also looks to be a distinctive season due to the unprecedented decision by the NCAA to grant all players an extra year of eligibility. Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl is focused on what lies ahead for his team in 2021, and he came out of spring practice encouraged by what he saw from his players and coaching staff.

Key Returners

Among the talented Cowboys who return this season after enjoying outstanding seasons a year ago are three First Team All-Mountain West selections in junior running back Xazavian Valladay Valladay, junior center Keegan Cryder and junior middle linebacker Chad Muma. Valladay has been selected First Team All-Mountain West each of the past two seasons and has led the Mountain West in rushing in each of those years. Valladay was also named to the 2020 Maxwell Award Watch List, which honors the nation’s Most Outstanding Player in College Football, and the 2020 Doak Walker Award Watch List, honoring the nation’s Top College Running Back.

Muma achieved First Te a m A l l - C o n f e r e n c e in his first season as a full-time starter in 2020. Muma averaged 11.8 total tackles per game to lead the Mountain West and rank No. 3 in the nation. He also averaged 5.5 solo tackles each game, ranking him No. 16 among all FBS players. Other key players returning who earned postseason honors in 2020 include: freshman place-kicker John Hoyland, senior offensive guard Logan Harris, senior free safety Esaias Gandy, freshman wide receiver Isaiah Neyor and sophomore cornerback C.J. Coldon. Hoyland was named to the All-Mountain West Second Team as a true freshman in 2020. He also was selected to the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) Freshman All-America Team as its only place-kicker. Hoyland ranked No. 1 in the nation in field goals made per game in 2020, averaging 2.17 per game. He was also No. 1 in the Mountain West and No. 6 in the nation in field-goal percentage (92.9 percent, making 13 of 14 attempts), and he led the league and ranked 19th nationally in scoring (9.2 points per game). Harris earned Honorable Mention All-Mountain West honors from conference head coaches and media for the second consecutive season. His fellow senior Gandy and freshman wideout Neyor also were named Honorable Mention selections. Harris also made Third Team All-MW as selected by Phil Steele and Coldon earned Fourth Team All-Mountain West from Steele.

Cowboys Hungry to Return for 2021 Season

Bohl talked throughout spring football that he felt his team was hungry entering the 2021 season after not having the type of success in 2020 that the Cowboys had been accustomed to in recent years. “From the start of winter conditioning, I saw great intensity and focus from our players and that carried into spring football,” said Bohl. “We had great competition in the spring. All those things indicate to me that we have a really united and hungry football team. I think we have a very cohesive locker room right now.”

Re-engineered Offense Takes Positive Steps During Spring, Top Rated Defense Returns Intact

Wyoming’s Spring Game was an indicator of that excellent spring practice, as it put on display Wyoming’s “re-engineered” offense under the direction of new offensive coordinator Tim Polasek. Both sophomore quarterback Chambers and redshirt freshman QB Levi Williams led each of their teams to touchdowns on the opening drive of the Spring Game. The production on offense would continue throughout the game. Chambers concluded the day completing 8 of 13 passes for 61.5 percent, 172 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Williams completed 10 of 17 passes for 58.8 percent, 132 yards, one TD and one interception. Defensively, the Cowboys return everyone from a unit that ranked 16th in the nation in total defense, 21st in rushing defense, 24th in scoring defense and 29th in passing defense. Not only do all 11 starters return from the 2020 defense, but eight other players with starting experience are also coming back and a total of 28 defensive lettermen return. “We were real pleased with the performance by the offense and the defense in the Spring Game,” said Bohl. “While Tim (Polasek) is new to Wyoming, he is not new to me as our relationship goes back many years when we coached together at North Dakota State. He understands philosophically what we want to build our offense around, but when he came into our program we wanted to do a deep dive into our offense and determine what we needed to improve upon and how we wanted to go about developing a clear identity on offense. We made strides, but we’re certainly not there yet. I thought the Spring Game was a good indication of where we are at, and I thought the guys really executed our offense well and played well.”

Wyoming’s schedule this season will include a full 12-game schedule, including a normal sixgame home schedule. The season will kick off in Laramie on Saturday, Sept. 4 against Montana State, who will be coached by former UW offensive coordinator Brent Vigen.. Wyoming will travel to Northern Illinois of the Mid-American Conference (MAC) on Sept. 11. The Pokes will return home the next Saturday on Sept. 18 to host 2020 MAC Champion Ball State. The Wyoming-Ball State matchup will feature the last two Arizona Bowl Champions -- Wyoming in 2019 and Ball State in 2020. The Cowboys will conclude the non-conference portion of their schedule on Sept. 25 at UConn. UW’s conference schedule will begin on Saturday, Oct. 9 at Air Force. Wyoming’s home schedule will include Mountain West foes Fresno State (Oct. 16), New Mexico (Oct. 23), Colorado State (Nov. 6) and Hawai’i (Nov. 27). In addition to its road game at Air Force, the Pokes will also travel to defending MW Champion San Jose State (Oct. 30) and Utah State (Nov. 20). The Cowboys’ only non-Saturday game this season will be on Friday Nov. 12 on the road at Boise State. The game times for Wyoming’s 2021 home schedule are ideal for fans. The games versus Montana State (Sept. 4) and Ball State (Sept. 18) will both kick off at 2 p.m., Mountain Time. New Mexico (Oct. 23) and Colorado State (Nov. 6) will kick off at 1:30 p.m., and the season finale against Hawai’i on Nov. 27 is schedule for 1 p.m. The only home game time that has not been announced is the Oct. 16 game vs. Fresno State. That game will be televised by one of the FOX networks (FOX, FS1 or FS2) and the game time will not be announced until 12 days prior to the game.

“I think we’ll have some great games this season,” said Bohl. “We have good kickoff times for our games. We’ll start out with Montana State, and of course Brent Vigen is now the head coach there. That will be fun and we’re anticipating a gorgeous summer day to welcome all of our fans back to War Memorial Stadium. “Then our next home game will be versus Ball State. I think Ball State is a great football team. They defeated our conference champion, San Jose State, in the Arizona Bowl last season. Ball State has a lot of players back from that team, including their quarterback. Those first two home games are going to be important ones, and then of course we have home games against our rival Colorado State, an improving New Mexico team, Fresno State and Hawai’i, which went to a bowl game last year. “I think we have a really good home slate. We’re back to normal, and I encourage our fans to get their tickets. We plan on having a full stadium in a safe atmosphere.”

LOGAN HARRIS OFFENSIVE GUARD

The Wyoming offensive line returns eight players who have started games during their Wyoming careers. That group has started a combined 145 games and played in a combined 180 games for the Cowboys. The group is led by 2020 First Team AllMountain West Conference center Keegan Cryder, a junior, and two-time Honorable Mention All-Conference offensive guard Logan Harris, who is entering his senior season. Also returning in 2021 is senior left tackle Alonzo Velazquez, who returns this season after missing all of the 2020 season due to an injury. The projected starter at left guard beside Velazquez is junior Eric Abojei. Sophomore Frank Crum returns as the projected starter at right tackle. “You hear the words ‘Super Seniors’ and it just so happens for us a couple of those guys are on our offensive line (Logan Harris and Alonzo Velazquez),” said Bohl. “We’re deeper there than any other position on our football team. That has provided us a great deal of competition and also provides us a great latitude if we suffer any injuries during the season. The experience this group possesses enables them to have a great understanding of what we want to do up front. “We have a new offensive line coach in Derek Frazier. We’re really well pleased with the progress of that group. “Many times, those are the unsung heroes. People don’t recognize how important offensive linemen are in everything we do offensively -- from the running game to protecting the quarterback in the passing game. Not only do we have a group who are mature physically, but mentally they are a mature group. They’ve played a lot of football and because of that experience we have up front we need to leverage our offensive line this coming season.”

Running Backs Almost as deep as the offensive line position in the running back group. Two-time First Team All-Mountain West running back Xazavian Valladay returns in 2021. Valladay has led the Mountain West in rushing in each of the past two seasons and has ranked 17th (in 2020) and 18th (in 2019) in the nation in rushing yards per game. He will be joined by graduate student Trey Smith, who enjoyed his best season as a Cowboy in 2020. Smith rushed for 488 yards in six games in 2020, averaging 81.3. yards per game. Valladay and Smith will form one of the most dynamic tandems in the conference in 2021. Add to those two veterans sophomore Titus Swen, who returns from an opt out year in 2020, and you have a third running back who has recorded a 100-yard rushing game in his UW career. “We are deep at running back again this season, but with the style of offense we run we are going to need to be deep there,” said Bohl. “It’s uncommon for us to go through an entire season and have the whole group make it through injury free. We’ll need all of those guys to come in and play meaningful reps.” Bohl was asked to describe what makes Valladay such a special running back. “X really has great ability,” said the head coach. “He has the ability to make explosive plays and break tackles and he has really good vision. He also catches the ball well and pass protects well, so he is a complete back. I think it is deserved that he has been recognized around our league as an All-Conference player the past two years. “Trey is certainly another very experienced back. He is a ‘Super, Super Senior’ after transferring here from Louisville a couple years ago and benefitting

from an extra year of eligibility again this year. He’s taking graduate courses now. It’s been fun to have Trey in our program, and great to have him back for another year. Titus Swen also did some good things in the Spring Game, so we’re looking forward to seeing what he can do this season.

Quarterbacks Sophomore quarterback Sean Chambers is eager to get the 2021 season started. The Kerman, Calif., native had his 2020 season end on the third play of the first game at Nevada. But Chambers has recovered, and he had an excellent spring practice in ‘21. He is not only a talented passer and runner, but his leadership ability is something his teammates feed off of and they are excited to have their team captain back on the field. Redshirt freshman QB Levi Williams also had an outstanding spring practice. Williams didn’t miss a game last year but had to fight through an injury to his throwing arm that he suffered during the season. He, like Chambers, was healthy once spring practice rolled around and both had very productive spring games. In the Spring Game, Chambers completed 61.5 percent of his passes (8 of 13) and Williams completed 58.8 percent of his throws (10 of 17). Having both of them right around the 60 percent threshold was something Bohl was pleased with. “That is a mark that we as coaches look at and know how important it is to having an effective passing game,” said Bohl. “You can’t completely hang your hat on that 60 percent mark, but it certainly makes you feel better as a head coach.” Both have shown their ability to play winning football, with Chambers having an outstanding regular season in 2019 before being injured and Williams leading Wyoming to a victory in the 2019 Arizona Bowl. Having both of them return is a luxury for the Cowboys. “We had really good competition at quarterback during spring practice,” said Bohl. “Sean (Chambers) didn’t come into spring completely 100 percent healthy, but he got better as spring went on. His competency as far as going through his progressions in the passing game improved and his accuracy improved. He needs to continue to get better.

Wide Receivers/ Tight Ends/Fullbacks An area that Wyoming is looking to improve upon in 2021 is the passing game. With that in mind, Bohl emphasized in the spring that he and his staff were looking to re-engineer the Cowboy Offense. Asked what he has planned to accomplish that, Bohl said, “We need to be able to identify what things we can do to penetrate and stress opposing defenses. With the limited number of players we had and the players we didn’t have last year, we were challenged to find our identity. To be able to be explosive, to be able to stress a defense and attack a defense it is really going to be important for us to find that identity. “We’ll add some new things to our offense, but we have a recruiting model that we’ve already recruited our players to, so we can’t veer off drastically. Our fans are going to see a more effective, explosive offense, but it’s not going to be an entirely new system. It is exciting to take a new look at things.” Returning in the receiving corps are Wyoming’s top two wide receivers from a year ago in senior Ayden Eberhardt and redshirt freshman Isaiah Neyor. Eberhardt has been a consistent performer the past two years for the Pokes. Neyor brings a big-play ability to the Cowboy receiving corps. They will be joined by redshirt freshmen Devin Jennings and freshman Joshua Cobbs, who both showed flashes of their abilities in spring practice. There is also a group of other young receivers who will be looking to break into the lineup come fall camp.

At the tight end and fullback positions, sophomore Treyton Welch and redshirt freshman Parker Christensen are looked to as two potential weapons this season. In Christensen’s case, he can play both tight end and fullback. Also returning this coming season will be sophomore Jackson Marcotte, who missed spring due to rehabbing an injury, and junior-college transfer from a year ago in Colin O’Brien. “I think we have some ability on the outside,” said Bohl. “Isaiah Neyor played some last year and really had a great spring. Ayden Eberhardt is a guy who always puts himself in position to make plays. Along with those two, we have some other young receivers like Devin Jennings, who has great speed. Between those two groups we’ll be well fortified at receiver. “Our tight end group, between Treyton Welch and Parker Christensen, can provide a threat for us. Parker is a very versatile player, who we can move around between the tight end and fullback positions.”

D E F E N S E Linebackers One of the biggest questions heading into last season was how would the Wyoming defense fill the void left by the graduation of 2020 NFL Draft picks Logan Wilson and Cassh Maluia at linebacker. The question was quickly answered by the performance of junior Chad Muma, sophomore Chuck Hicks and redshirt freshman Easton Gibbs. Muma earned First Team All-Mountain West Conference honors in his first season as a starter in 2020. He also ranked No. 3 in the nation in tackles per game (11.8) after stepping into the middle linebacker spot previously held by All-American Wilson. Hicks stepped in as the starter at weak-side linebacker where Maluia had been a threeyear starter, and Gibbs shared time with Hicks at the weak-side spot. Gibbs finished third on the Cowboy team in tackles, with 42, including 2.5 tackles for loss in six games. Hicks, who missed the final game of the season due to

an injury, concluded his first season as a starter with 27 tackles, two fumble recoveries, one interception, 3.5 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks. Bohl is thrilled that they all return in 2021. “Chad’s (Muma) father played here. His grandfather played here. He’s gotten bigger. He has good speed and is a really smart player,” said Bohl. “Once he diagnoses something, he flies to the ball and makes a lot of plays. Chad also has the ability to make everything right around him. With his intelligence and his physical ability, he is very effective at helping out his teammates if they get out of position or make a bad read. Going into this season, we have high expectations for Chad, and I know he has high expectations, as well. “Charles Hicks and Easton Gibbs played a lot of football for us last year. There were some mistakes they made along the way, but as the season wore on they played with more confidence. In our last ballgame against Boise State, I thought Easton played particularly well. They both had good springs, so with those two and Chad we have three experienced linebackers. We’re looking for a fourth linebacker. We’ll see which of our other guys come to the forefront next fall.”

Defensive Line This year’s defensive line group will be a mixture of several talented veterans who will be returning after a frustrating 2020 season and several players who really stepped up and played well with the veterans either out for the season or limited due to injuries. Among those veterans returning is senior Garrett Crall, who missed the first three games of the 2020 season due to recovery from a foot injury followed by contact tracing guidelines connected to COVID-19. Crall is an outstanding player and was voted a team captain last season. Junior Ravontae Holt missed all of the 2020 season due to having knee surgery prior to the start of the season. Holt may be Wyoming’s most talented defensive tackle. Solomon Byrd decided to opt out of the 2020 season due to COVID. In 2019, Byrd’s play earned him Freshman All-America honors from the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA). Sophomore defensive end Teagan Liufau also missed the entire season with an injury. Among the players returning who stepped up big in the absence of those veterans are sophomore Cole Gobout at nose


SEA S O N O U T LO O K P O S I T I O N - B Y - P O S I T I O N tackle, redshirt freshman Jordan Bertagnole at defensive tackle, junior Victor Jones at defensive tackle, redshirt freshmen DeVonne Harris and Jaylen Pate at defensive end, and freshmen Gavin Meyer and Caleb Robinson at nose tackle. “Garrett (Crall) was injured going into last season, but came back to finish out the year. He’s all healed up now and had a really good offseason. DeVonne Harris is probably one of the biggest surprises coming out of the spring. He’s gotten stronger, has good length and really good quickness. Solomon (Byrd) is an experienced player who is back and ready to go. Teagan (Liufau) is coming back after missing all of last year due to injury, and Jaylen Pate is a young player who started games for us last year and will be in the mix again this year.” “What was interesting as we went through last season is we lost Ravontae Holt, our most experienced defensive tackle, before the season due to an injury. We have Ravontae back now. But we had some young guys step up in the interior defensive line last season who people didn’t really know much about entering the year. Jordan Bertagnole from Casper had a strong freshman year. Cole Godbout had a really good year. Gavin Meyer has also added some strength up front and started to make an impact. If you’re good at the defensive tackle spots, you feel pretty good as a coaching staff. We’re excited about those guys.”

at strong safety after also having a strong season in his first season as a Cowboy starter in 2020. Backing them up will be junior Miles Williams at free safety and Rome Weber at strong safety. Weber was Wyoming’s starting safety in 2019 before opting out last season. W yo mi n g ’s r e tu r n i n g sta r te r s a t cornerback are talented veterans in sophomore C.J. Coldon and junior Azizi Hearn. Coldon led Wyoming in interceptions last season with two picks in six games. Both are big corners. Coldon is 6’1” and 180 pounds. Hearn is 6’1” and 202 pounds. The third corner heading into the fall is freshman Cameron Stone, who saw some action in 2020. The nickel back position is just as experienced as UW’s safety and corner spots. Junior Keyon Blankenbaker returns after playing in only three games in 2020 because of a hamstring injury. Redshirt freshman Keonte Glinton moved right in during Blankenbaker’s injury and played well. “Our two returning corners played well last year. We have a great deal of experience coming back at the corner position,” said Bohl. “C.J. Coldon made it through all six of our games last year and performed very well after being injured each of the previous two seasons. Azizi Hearn I think has really taken advantage of our offseason conditioning program and has refined some of his techniques. When you have two quality corners you can do a whole lot more with your defense. We feel good about their ability and their experience. Cam Stone is another young corner who did well and is probably the next player we’ll look at there. “On the inside at the nickel position, we have two players who bring a lot of experience. Keyon Blankenbaker, who has played a lot the past three seasons, returns. He had some hamstring issues last season that limited his playing time, but Keonte Glinton stepped in played well in his first season. There is really good competition between them and gives us good depth at the nickel position, which is almost like a third corner. “Braden Smith played well for us last year and has had a good offseason. Esaias Gandy is really becoming more of a complete player, He’s always been very good around the line of scrimmage and is an excellent tackler, but his coverage skills have improved. Rome Weber came back, and I think it took him awhile to get back in shape, but he came around during spring and has a lot of game experience. Miles Williams is another experienced player at safety. We have a lot of depth at a lot of places.”

All four starters return to the Cowboy secondary in 2021. Senior free safety Esaias Gandy earned his opportunity to start in 2020 after playing behind former First Team All-Mountain West safeties Andrew Wingard and Alijah Halliburton earlier in his career. Gandy became Wyoming’s second leading tackler in his first season starting. He had 45 total tackles -- second only to Muma’s 72. Another senior, Braden Smith, returns

Special Teams While linebacker was perhaps the primary concern heading into the 2020 season, placekicker was definitely close behind. As the 2020 season approached, gone was former Mountain West Special Teams Player of the Year and Lou Groza Award finalist Cooper Rothe. Rothe had been a four-year starter and ended his Wyoming career as the school’s all-time leading scorer. Entering the first game of the 2021 season it was unknown who would step forward to fill that role. Enter true freshman John Hoyland from Broomfield, Colo. All the true freshman would do was earn Mountain West Special Teams Player of the Week in his first college game, kicking a 42yard field goal to tie the game at Nevada and send it to overtime and then kick a 38-yarder in OT to give Wyoming a brief lead at 34-31 before falling to the Wolf Pack 34-37. Hoyland would go on to lead the nation in field goals made per game (2.17), rank No. 1 in the MW and No. 6 in the FBS in field-goal percentage (92.9, making 13 of 14 attempts) and rank No. 1 in the MW and No. 19 in the nation in scoring (9.2 points per game). He capped off his freshman season by being named by the Football Writers Association of America as their Freshman All-America place-kicker. “John Hoyland really played well as a true freshman. He earned Freshman All-America honors and only missed one field goal all year,” said Bohl. “Luke (Glassock) is also back, and he and John will handle our placekicking and kickoff duties. Ralph (Fawaz) will be our punter. We’re pleased with Ralph’s progress. He still has work to do, but we feel with a good summer working on some things by himself he’ll be capable.”

CRAIG BOHL (Nebraska ‘82)

C

Head Coach, University of Wyoming

raig Bohl will be entering his eighth season leading the University of Wyoming Football program in 2021 and his 19th season as a head coach at the collegiate level. The success that Cowboy Football has enjoyed and the excitement generated around the program under Bohl’s direction is just what UW Athletics Director Tom Burman had hoped for when he hired Bohl on Dec. 8, 2013. When Bohl was hired as head football coach at Wyoming, he was open in saying that he wanted to bring Cowboy Football back to a place of national prominence. In terms of success, the Cowboys have become regular contenders in the race for the Mountain West Conference title. UW won eight games in 2016, ‘17 and ‘19, hosted the 2016 Mountain West Championship Game, earned three bowl bids in four years and won the 2017 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl and 2019 NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl. In addition in the 2018 season, the Cowboys earned bowl eligibility. The last time that UW had achieved bowl eligibility in four consecutive seasons were the 1996-99 seasons. Wyoming also had two players, linebackers Logan Wilson and Cassh Maluia, selected in the 2020 NFL Draft, marking the fourth consecutive year that Wyoming had at least one player selected in the NFL Draft and the fifth year out of the past six NFL Drafts that the Pokes had a player drafted. The excitement surrounding Wyoming Football included the extensive coverage of former Cowboy quarterback Josh Allen, who was selected as the No. 7 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. That marked the highest selection by a Wyoming Cowboy in the history of the program and was the second highest selection by a Mountain West player since Utah’s Alex Smith was selected No. 1 in 2005. Leading up to Allen being drafted, Wyoming’s Pro Day was covered live by both ESPN and the NFL Network. At the conclusion of the 2017 football season and the 2018 NFL Draft, media coverage of Wyoming Football for the past year was estimated by Joyce Julius & Associates at over $159 million. Cowboy linebacker Logan Wilson was one of six national finalists for the 2019 Butkus Award, honoring the nation’s top collegiate linebacker. Wilson earned multiple All-America honors, including being named a First Team All-American by Pro Football Focus. In 2018, Wyoming had two finalists for national awards for the first time in program history. Place-kicker Cooper Rothe was one of three national finalists for the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award, that honors the nation’s top collegiate place-kicker each year. Free safety Marcus Epps was one of only three national finalists for the Burlsworth Trophy, which is awarded to the most outstanding football player in America who began his career as a walk-on. Epps went on to be drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. During Bohl’s tenure as Wyoming’s head coach, he has had a freshman earn Freshman All-America honors from the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) five times. The most recent Cowboy freshman to receive the honor was place-kicker John Hoyland in 2020. The other four Pokes coached by Bohl to be named Freshman All-Americans by the FWAA were: safety Andrew Wingard (2015), linebacker Logan Wilson (2016), center Keegan Cryder (2018) and defensive end Solomon Byrd (2019). In the COVID-shortened season of 2020, Wyoming’s defense ranked among the Top 30 teams in the nation in 10 defensive categories, including ranking: No. 16 in total defense, No. 21

in rushing defense, No. 24 in scoring defense and No. 29 in pass defense. Wyoming’s 2020 offense ranked No. 7 in the NCAA in passing yards per completion, No. 14 in rushing offense and No. 24 in fewest turnovers committed. The Cowboy defense ranked No. 11 in the nation in scoring defense and No. 11 in rushing defense in 2019. Wyoming’s defense also was No. 6 in the country in red-zone defense and scored three defensive touchdowns to rank No. 12 in the FBS. The UW offense ranked No. 10 in the nation in passing yards per completion, was No. 23 in the country in rushing offense and No. 32 in third-down conversions. That Craig Bohl and FOX Sports announcer Troy Aikman talk during combination of offensive and defensive balance led to an 8-5 Wyoming’s NFL Pro Day. record and a victory in the NOVA Subdivision (FCS) level in 2011, ‘12 and ‘13.

CO W B O Y C O A C H ES The Bison had great success against FBS teams to go with their elite status at the FCS level. In each of his last four seasons at NDSU, Bohl’s Bison defeated all four of the FBS teams they faced, and captured all of those wins on the road. NDSU won at Kansas in 2010 (by a score of 6-3), at Minnesota in 2011 (37-24), at Colorado State in 2012 (22-7), and at Kansas State in 2013 (24-21). Overall during his 11 years at North Dakota State, Bohl’s teams built a 7-3 record against FBS teams. In 2012 and ‘13, Bohl received both The Sports Network Eddie Robinson FCS National Coach of the Year Award and the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) FCS National Coach of the Year Award. He became the first coach in the first 27 years of the Eddie Robinson Award to win it in consecutive seasons. In 2013, he also received the Liberty Mutual FCS Coach of the Year Award, which is presented in partnership with the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. His other National Coach of the Year honor came in 2006, when he was recognized by the Football Gazette as the FCS National Coach of the Year and the Northwest Region Coach of the Year. He was a finalist for The Sports Network Eddie Robinson Award in 2011, 2007 and 2006, and was the 2011 and 2013 AFCA Region 4 FCS Coach of the Year. His North Dakota State teams were built on an exciting West Coast offense and a physical, aggressive defense. In the 2013 season, North Dakota State’s offense ranked No. 7 in the nation in rushing offense (257.3 yards per game), No. 10 in scoring offense (38.7 points per game) and No. 14 in total offense (457.5 ypg). The Bison defense ranked No. 1 in the nation in scoring defense (11.3 points allowed per game), No. 2 in the nation in pass defense efficiency (97.59 rating), No. 3 in rushing defense (91.3 yards allowed per game) and was No. 3 in total defense (255.9 yards allowed per game). The Bison led all FCS teams in scoring defense three consecutive seasons (2011-13). In addition to his 18 years of experience as a head coach, Bohl has 19 years of experience as a full-time assistant coach at the collegiate level and three seasons as a graduate assistant. His last eight years as an assistant coach were spent at Nebraska. He was the linebackers coach under head coach Tom Osborne for five of those seasons and was part of the 1995 and ‘97 Nebraska National Championship teams. Bohl’s final three seasons (2000-02) at Nebraska, he served as the Cornhuskers’ defensive coordinator under head coach Frank Solich, before accepting the head-coaching job at North Dakota State in 2003. Bohl was part of 11 bowl-game appearances while at Nebraska -- eight as an assistant coach from 1995 to 2002 and three as a graduate assistant coach for the Huskers from 1981-83. As the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Duke in 1994, he helped coach the Blue Devils to the Hall of Fame Bowl in

his only season at Duke. Bohl’s North Dakota State teams were ranked in The Sports Network or FCS Coaches Top 25 polls for 107 weeks since beginning FCS play in 2004, and earned the No. 1 ranking in both the final 2011, 2012 and 2013 polls, including being named a unanimous No. 1 following the 2013 campaign. The Bison’s record versus FCS Top 25 ranked teams under Bohl’s direction was 30-8. From 2004-2007, Bohl helped lead North Dakota State through its transition to the NCAA FCS level. During that transition period, his teams posted back-to-back 10-1 seasons in 2006 and 2007, but weren’t eligible for postseason play due to NCAA rules regarding teams moving up a division. During his time in Fargo, N.D., Bohl coached 10 Academic AllAmericans and 37 All-Americans, while six student-athletes in the last 10 years were named to the Allstate/AFCA Good Works team. He added a seventh Allstate/AFCA Good Works team member in 2014 at Wyoming, when senior wide receiver Dominic Rufran earned that honor. Bohl grew up in Lincoln, Neb., and went on to attend the University of Nebraska where he was a reserve defensive back from 1977 to 1979 under head coach Tom Osborne. Bohl was part of Nebraska’s 1979 Orange Bowl and 1980 Cotton Bowl teams.

He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at his alma mater in 1981, assisting with the Nebraska linebackers and defensive backs for three seasons from 1981-83. His first full-time coaching position came at North Dakota State in 1984, coaching the defensive backs. He moved on to coach the linebackers at the University of Tulsa for the 1985 and ‘86 seasons. In 1987 and ‘88, Bohl was the linebackers coach at the University of Wisconsin. He earned his first defensive coordinator position in 1989 at Rice, where he served as the defensive coordinator for five seasons from 1989-93. In 1994, Bohl accepted the defensive coordinator position at Duke. The following season in 1995, he had the opportunity to return to Nebraska as the linebackers coach, and in his first season back in Lincoln the Huskers won the National Championship. Two seasons later, they captured their second National Championship during Bohl’s time as an assistant coach. The 2021 season will be Bohl’s 41st year coaching at the college level. Born July 27, 1958, Bohl will be 63 years old when the 2021 season kicks off. He earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Nebraska in 1982. Bohl’s family includes wife Leia, and children Mallory and Morgan, Aaron and Elijah.

T IM POL A SEK (Concordia ‘02) Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks

Tim Polasek was announced as Wyoming’s new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach on Feb. 10, 2021. Polasek was the offensive line coach at the University of Iowa the past four seasons (2017-20). Prior to Iowa, Polasek (pronounced PAWL-uh-seck) was the offensive coordinator and running backs coach at North Dakota State for three years from 2014-16. He was a record-setting quarterback himself at Concordia University in Wisconsin. “We’re excited about welcoming Tim Polasek to the Cowboy family,” said Bohl. “His experience coaching on the offensive side of the football is going to add great value as we continue to re-engineer and improve our offense going into the 2021 season.” “First and foremost I’d like to thank my wife, Jill, for being by my side on this wild journey,” said Polasek. “She can’t wait to get to Laramie and meet the rest of the staff. To reunite with Coach Bohl, a true mentor of mine, is very special. A long time ago Coach Bohl took a chance on me and helped me learn how to be a teacher and a leader. He laid the foundation of what is my coaching philosophy and teaching style. I will do everything I can to help him continue his success with Cowboy Football." Polasek was part of four FCS national championships, five Missouri Valley Football Conference titles and one Great West Football Conference title at North Dakota State. At Iowa in 2020, the Hawkeyes won six straight games, all in Big Ten play, to conclude the regular season. The Hawkeyes scored at least 26 points in each of those six wins. The winning streak included road wins at Minnesota, Penn State and Illinois, and trophy game victories over Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin. The Hawkeyes were ranked No. 15 in the nation in the final College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings and the final Coaches Poll rankings, while ranking No. 16 in the final Associated Press media poll. Iowa has won three straight postseason games and 12 straight non-conference games. The Hawkeyes were selected to compete in the 2020 Music City Bowl, but that event was canceled due to Iowa’s scheduled opponent, Missouri, having COVID issues. Iowa’s current streak of eight straight bowl invitations matches the longest in school history. The Hawkeyes have won 27 games the past three seasons. Iowa’s offense in 2020 led the Big Ten in red-zone offense (0.917), ranked second in scoring (31.8) and third in fewest tackles for loss allowed (5.1). Sophomore center Tyler Linderbaum and senior tackle Alaric Jackson earned First Team All-Big Ten honors, while senior guard Cole Banwart was a Second Team selection. Linderbaum was one of three finalists for the Rimington Trophy. Linderbaum and Jackson each earned First and Second Team All-America honors from media outlets. Immediately following the conclusion of the 2021 NFL Draft, Jackson signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Rams. Banwart signed with the Tennessee Titans as a free agent, and tackle Coy Cronk signed as a free agent with the Green Bay Packers. The Hawkeyes won their final four games in 2019 and ranked 15th in the nation in the final Associated Press and Coaches Polls. Iowa concluded the 2019 campaign with a 10-3 record and defeated No. 22 USC, 49-24, in the Holiday Bowl. Iowa’s three losses were all to ranked opponents by a combined 14 points. The Hawkeyes were 4-1 in trophy games for the third straight season. Iowa ranked third in the Big Ten in fewest sacks allowed in 2019 (1.8), led the league in red-zone offense, ranked second in fourth-down conversions and fourth in time of possession. Iowa’s efficient offense in 2019 featured junior tackle Tristan Wirfs, the Big Ten’s Rimington-Pace Offensive Lineman of the Year. Wirfs earned First Team All-America honors from as many as three national outlets. Jackson earned Third Team All-Big Ten honors and Linderbaum was named Honorable Mention All-Big Ten. Wirfs declared for the 2020 NFL Draft following his junior season and was the 13th player selected in the first round. Wirfs started every game in his rookie season at right tackle for Tampa Bay, including starting in the 2021 Super Bowl victory. Iowa won six of its first seven games in 2018 and closed the season with wins in the final three games, including a 2722 Outback Bowl win over No. 18 Mississippi State. The Hawkeyes won three of four trophy games for the third time in four seasons. The four losses came by a total of 23 points and all were decided in the final minutes of play. Iowa’s 5-4 Big Ten record earned a tie for second place in the West Division. The Iowa offense in 2018 set a school record for most points scored in road games, averaging 42.8 points in the five Big Ten contests. The Hawkeyes averaged 31.2 points in all games, the ninth highest single-season total in school history. Iowa led the Big Ten and ranked 14th in the nation in fewest sacks allowed (1.2 per game). Four of Iowa’s offensive linemen earned postseason recognition in 2018. Jackson and senior guard Ross Reynolds earned Second Team All-Big Ten honors, while senior center Keegan Render earned Third Team honors and Wirfs gained Honorable Mention recognition. Render and Reynolds were invited to NFL camps immediately following the 2019 NFL Draft, with Reynolds earning a spot on the practice squad of the NFC champion San Francisco 49ers. Quarterback Nate Stanley passed for over 2,800 yards and 26 touchdowns, while Iowa’s trio of running backs combined to rush for 1,723 yards and 16 touchdowns. Iowa won eight games in 2017, including a 27-20 Pinstripe Bowl victory over Boston College to conclude the season. The Hawkeyes scored over 50 points in November wins over third-ranked Ohio State (55-24) and Nebraska (56-14). Due to injuries to returning senior starters Boone Myers and Ike Boettger in 2017, the Hawkeye offensive line included a redshirt freshman at left tackle and a true freshman at right tackle for the majority of the season. The offensive line paved the way for running back Akrum Wadley (1,109) to surpass 1,000 rushing yards for the second straight season, while Stanley passed for 2,437 yards and 26 touchdowns. Senior guard Sean Welsh earned First Team All-Big Ten honors, junior center James Daniels earned Honorable Mention recognition, and Jackson was named First Team Freshman All-American by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA). Daniels declared for the 2018 NFL Draft and was a second round selection of the Chicago Bears. Boettger and Myers, who both missed the majority of the season due to injury, signed free-agent contracts following the draft. Polasek is the all-time leading passer at Concordia University in Wisconsin. He set single-game, single-season and career records in TD passes, passing yards, completions and completion percentage. Polasek was the 2000 Badger-Illini Conference Player of the Year. He was a twotime First Team All-Conference selection in 2000 and 2001 and Second Team in 1999. Polasek graduated from Concordia in 2002 with a bachelor’s degree in physical education. He earned his master’s degree from WisconsinStevens Point in 2005. A native of Iola, Wis., he and his wife, Jill, were married in May 2014.

Jay Sawvel joined the Wyoming coaching staff in February 2020 as defensive coordinator and safeties coach. Sawvel previously served as the defensive coordinator at the University of Minnesota and Wake Forest University. He will be entering his 27th season as a college coach in 2021. “Jay comes from the great coaching tree of Jerry Kill and has a long relationship with Coach Kill,” said Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl. “I’ve admired Jay’s work through the years. He’s an outstanding recruiter, a great secondary coach and an experienced coordinator.” “I am honored and excited to be a Cowboy,” said Sawvel. “Having an opportunity to work for a championship coach like Coach Bohl is something I am really looking forward to. The players here have been great to me as I’ve gotten a chance to meet them.” In his first season guiding the Wyoming defense as defensive coordinator in 2020, the Wyoming defense was among the best in the nation, ranking No. 16 in the nation in total defense, allowing opponents only 328.0 yards per game. UW’s defense also ranked No. 21 in rushing defense (125.3 yards per game), No. 24 in scoring defense (21.0 points per game) and No. 29 in pass defense (202.7 yards per game). Three of his Cowboy defenders earned All-Conference recognition in 2020. Junior linebacker Chad Muma earned First Team All-Mountain West honors from MW head coaches and media. Senior free safety Esaias Gandy earned Honorable Mention honors from the conference head coaches and media, and sophomore cornerback C.J. Coldon earned Fourth Team All-MW from Phil Steele. Before coming to Wyoming, Sawvel served as the defensive coordinator at Wake Forest University in 2017 and ‘18. He was named the defensive coordinator at Wake Forest in January 2017 and helped the Deacons to the 2017 Belk Bowl. During his first season at the helm of the Wake Forest defense, the Deacons set school records for tackles for loss in a single season and finished the season ranked No. 7 nationally in tackles for loss. As the cornerbacks coach in 2017, Sawvel coached Essang Bassey, who set a sophomore school record with 19 passes defended and earned Honorable Mention All-ACC honors. Prior to coaching at Wake Forest, Sawvel served as the defensive coordinator at the University of Minnesota where he constructed a Top 25 ranked defense and helped the Gophers to their best record in 13 seasons in 2016. Minnesota posted a 9-4 record in 2016 and defeated Washington State, 17-12, in the Holiday Bowl. In the Holiday Bowl victory, Minnesota held Washington State’s explosive passing offense to just 264 yards, 86 yards below its average, and held the Cougars to their lowest point total of the season. Sawvel spent six seasons as an assistant at Minnesota. He was the defensive backs and special teams coach from 2011 to 2015. After Jerry Kill’s retirement as the head coach at Minnesota, Tracy Claeys was elevated to head coach and Sawvel became the Gophers’ defensive coordinator. Under Sawvel’s direction, the 2016 Golden Gopher defense was ranked in the Top 25 in a number of defensive categories including: rushing defense (14th), turnover margin (18th), scoring defense (21st), total defense (21st) and sacks (22nd). In addition, Minnesota ranked 27th nationally in team pass efficiency defense. Sawvel has helped develop several players who went on to play in the NFL. In 2015, two of his players at Minnesota, Eric Murray and Briean Boddy-Calhoun, earned opportunities in the NFL. Murray was a fourth round pick of the Kansas City Chiefs while Boddy-Calhoun signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as a free agent. In 2014, both Murray and Boddy-Calhoun were named to the All-Big Ten Team following a season in which the Gophers were 18th in the nation in pass defense. Brock Vereen, a 2014 First Team All-Big Ten selection and another one of Sawvel’s pupils, was drafted in the fourth round of the NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears. For three seasons from 2014 through 2016, Sawvel had at least one of his secondary players selected in the NFL Draft. Sawvel was part of teams that advanced to four conference championships as a collegiate coach. Prior to his time at Minnesota, he served as the defensive backs coach on Kill’s coaching staff at Northern Illinois for three seasons from 2008-10. As secondary coach at Northern Illinois, he mentored Jimmie Ward, a first round pick of the San Francisco 49ers in 2014. Sawvel was a member of the Southern Illinois staff under Kill for seven seasons from 2001-07, working with the secondary and special teams. His first full-time coaching position came at Ferris State for two seasons from 1999-2000, where he coached the defensive backs and special teams. Sawvel was a three-year letterwinner and an All-Conference linebacker in 1993 at Division III power Mount Union. He earned a bachelor’s degree in 1993 in sports management with minors in business administration, information systems and physical education. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Eastern Kentucky in 1994 and moved to Notre Dame as a graduate assistant coach for the 1996-98 seasons. Sawvel owns master’s degrees from both Eastern Kentucky and Notre Dame, where he completed his master’s in administration. Sawvel has two daughters, Mackenzie and Miranda.

I love the tough, physical style of play that Coach Bohl has brought to Laramie, and I embrace the blue-collar mentality that embodies the entire state of Wyoming! “I am looking forward to adding to the rich culture that currently exists, as well as working with this staff and these players to continue to compete for a Mountain West Championship. I am excited to be a part of Cowboy Nation!

M A RT Y ENG L I SH (Northern Colorado ‘86) Defensive Ends

In February 2020, Wyoming Football welcomed back Marty English to the Cowboy coaching staff. English is now in his second season coaching the Wyoming defensive ends. He also recruits the state of Colorado for the Pokes. English previously coached at Wyoming for nine seasons from 2003-11. “Marty English enjoys a great reputation recruiting the Rocky Mountain area,” said University of Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl. “He has spent time previously here at Wyoming, at Colorado State and at Northern Colorado. He’ll be coaching our defensive ends. He has tremendous defensive experience. Marty will add great value on our defensive staff, and we look forward to his recruiting efforts in the state of Colorado.” “I’m really excited to come back to Wyo and work with Coach Bohl and the rest of the coaching staff,” said English. “I’m also looking forward to working with a bunch of tough, hard-working kids with great attitudes. My family and I are very grateful to be back in Wyoming.” In his first season back with the Cowboys in 2020, the Wyoming defense was among the best in the nation, ranking No. 16 in the nation in total defense, allowing opponents only 328.0 yards per game. UW’s defense also ranked No. 21 in rushing defense (125.3 yards per game), No. 24 in scoring defense (21.0 points per game) and No. 29 in pass defense (202.7 yards per game). English was part of many successes during his previous time coaching at Wyoming. He helped the Cowboys win the 2004 Las Vegas Bowl over UCLA, win the 2009 New Mexico Bowl over Fresno State and earn a bid to the 2011 New Mexico Bowl versus Temple. English coached the Wyoming linebackers from 2003-08. He was elevated to defensive coordinator for the 2009-11 seasons while continuing to coach the Poke linebackers. His impact on recruiting and coaching at Wyoming was key to the Cowboys’ success. Among the players that English either recruited or coached at Wyoming were: future NFL players Mark Nzeocha, Mike Purcell, Mitch Unrein and Eddie Yarbrough; and AllConference performers Ward Dobbs, John Fletcher, Tyler Gottschalk, Brian Hendricks, Dusty Hoffschneider, Gabe Knapton, Purcell, Unrein and Yarbrough. Several of those Cowboys were recruited from the state of Colorado, including: Fletcher, Hendricks, Hoffschneider, Knapton, Purcell, Unrein and Yarbrough. English will enter his 35th season as a college coach and his 11th season at the University of Wyoming in 2021. English comes to Wyoming after serving as associate head coach, defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at his alma mater, the University of Northern Colorado, for the 2018 and ‘19 seasons. The first time English joined the Cowboy coaching staff in 2003, he also moved up the road to Laramie from UNC after serving as an assistant coach for 16 seasons (1987-2002) at his alma mater. From 2012-17, English coached at Colorado State University. Highlights during his time at CSU included five consecutive bowl game appearances from 2013-17. English was the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach from 2012-14 under then CSU head coach Jim McElwain. He was retained by new head coach Mike Bobo in 2015 and served as the linebackers coach in 2015 before taking over as defensive coordinator for the 2016 and ‘17 seasons. In English’s final season as Wyoming’s defensive coordinator, the Cowboy defense concluded the 2011 season on a high note, recording a dominating defensive performance in a 44-0 shutout victory over archrival Colorado State. It marked only the second shutout of CSU by Wyoming since 1959. English was also on the defensive staff in 2006 that shutout the Rams, 24-0. English’s 2011 defense included five Cowboys who earned Second Team All-Mountain West honors. Those five were: senior defensive ends Josh Biezuns and Gabe Knapton, senior linebacker Brian Hendricks, senior safety Tashaun Gipson and junior safety Luke Ruff. Freshman cornerback Blair Burns also earned Honorable Mention All-MW honors in 2011. Two Cowboy defenders were named Second Team All-Mountain West in 2010. Senior free safety Chris Prosinski and junior defensive end Josh Biezuns both earned Second Team honors. Three other Cowboy juniors earned Honorable Mention All-Conference honors on defense. Those three juniors were: cornerback Tashaun Gipson, linebacker Brian Hendricks and defensive end Gabe Knapton. Prosinski was drafted in the fourth round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was the 121st overall selection in the 2011 Draft, and concluded his career ranked No. 4 in career tackles at UW with 373. English’s 2009 Cowboy defense may best be remembered for a dramatic goal-line stand in the New Mexico Bowl. In the first overtime of the New Mexico Bowl, Fresno State had a first and goal at the Wyoming one-yard line, but the Cowboy defense held on four straight plays and UW went on to win 35-28 in double overtime. The 2009 Cowboy team featured four seniors recruited by English who went on to sign NFL free-agent contracts. Defensive tackle John Fletcher (Baltimore Ravens), linebacker Weston Johnson (Atlanta Falcons), defensive end Mitch Unrein (Houston Texans) and offensive tackle Ryan Otterson (San Diego Chargers) were all recruited by English. Fletcher earned First Team All-Mountain West Conference honors as a defensive tackle in ‘09, while Unrein was an Honorable Mention selection. Wyoming was the only team in the nation with three individuals ranked among the Top 25 in the nation in tackles in 2009. Free safety Chris Prosinski ranked 10th (10.8 tackles per game), inside linebacker Brian Hendricks was 12th (10.5) and inside linebacker Gabe Knapton ranked 19th (9.8). In terms of total tackles, Prosinski (140 total tackles) and Knapton (128) posted the fourth and ninth best single-season tackle totals, respectively, in UW school history. Both Prosinski and Hendricks earned Second Team All-Mountain West Conference honors in ‘09. In 2008, English helped guide a Wyoming defense that ranked No. 38 in the nation in total defense, allowing only 329.7 yards per game, and ranked No. 31 in pass defense, giving up only 189.5 yards per outing. He coached 2008 First Team All-Mountain West Conference linebacker Ward Dobbs, who concluded his career ranked No. 5 in career tackles in Wyoming school history, with 343. The 2007 season saw UW’s defense rank 22nd in the country in total defense (332.1 yards per game) and quarterback sacks (33 total sacks). The Cowboys also were among the best teams in the nation in defending the run, ranking No. 27 (122.8 yards per game), and against the pass, ranking No. 30 (209.3 ypg). During the 2006 season, the Cowboy defense moved to a 3-4 alignment, and was one of the best defenses in the nation. In total defense, the Cowboys ranked ninth out of 119 NCAA Division I-A teams, allowing opponents only 262.9 yards per game. UW ranked even higher in pass defense, giving up only 156.3 yards passing per game to rank No. 8 in the country. Wyoming also ranked in the Top 25 in rushing defense at No. 23 (106.6 yards per game), and was 36th in the NCAA and No. 2 in the MW in sacks (2.42 per game). Wyoming’s defense ranked among the Top 40 teams in the nation in two defensive categories in 2005. UW was No. 40 in the nation in pass defense, allowing only 207.4 yards per game through the air, and the Cowboy defense also intercepted 14 passes to rank No. 34 in the NCAA in that category. The Pokes were very effective at forcing turnovers in 2004, ranking No. 13 in the country in most turnovers gained (28). Wyoming’s defense recovered 14 fumbles to rank No. 10 in the NCAA, and intercepted 14 passes to rank No. 34. For three seasons (2000-02), English served as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Northern Colorado. His 2002 defensive unit ranked in the Top 10 in the nation in five defensive categories. UNC ranked No. 8 in total defense, allowing only 249.8 yards per game; was ranked No. 5 in pass defense efficiency, with a rating of 86.9; and ranked No. 9 in three categories -- scoring defense (15.0 points allowed per game), rush defense (85.3 yards per game) and turnover margin (+16). Anthony Dunn, a defensive end on the 2002 squad, earned First Team All-America honors, and signed a free-agent contract with the Tennessee Titans of the NFL. Through his years at UNC, English coached on NCAA Division II National Championship teams in 1996 and ‘97. He also helped guide the Bears to the NCAA Division II Playoffs in eight different seasons, including advancing to the semifinals of the 2002 NCAA Division II Playoffs. As a player, English began his career at Idaho State in 1981, the year the Bengals won the NCAA Division I-AA National Championship. English then transferred to Northern Colorado, where he was a threeyear letterman at linebacker. His senior season of 1985, he served as a team captain, and received All-North Central Conference honors. He earned his bachelor’s degree in recreation management in 1986 and his master’s degree in physical education in 1989 -- both from Northern Colorado. A native of Lakewood, Colo., he was an All-State football player at Alameda High School. He and his wife, Suzie, have one daughter, Kelsey, and one son, Tyler. Kelsey is a graduate of the University of Wyoming. Tyler is a graduate of Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, Colo.

Derek Frazier joined the Cowboy coaching staff as offensive line coach in February of 2021. He most recently was the assistant offensive line coach of the NFL’s New York Jets from 2019-20. “We are certainly excited about Derek Frazier joining Cowboy Football,” said Bohl. “He has a long history with Wyoming Football. His father was a great player here, and Derek spent many afternoons in War Memorial Stadium as he was growing up. He is really a loyal Cowboy fan. “Derek enjoys a great national reputation and has coached at both the collegiate and professional levels. There is no doubt he is going to do an excellent job moving our offensive line forward as we continue to make great progress with our offense.” “I want to say that I am very excited and humbled to be a part of Coach Bohl’s staff and represent the strong tradition that is Wyoming Cowboy Football,” said Frazier. “I know first hand what Cowboy Football represents, by growing up and following the program with my mom and dad, as well as being on the other sideline. I went to many Wyoming bowl games with my parents and many Cowboy Joe events. I’m fired up to get started. “This opportunity is a chance to work with tough young men, who play hard-nosed football in a great culture that Coach Bohl has instilled. “Having been around the program for so many years because of my family’s connection to Wyoming, it is very special to now be part of that tradition. Not only did my dad play here, but my uncle, Jeff Frazier, played here.” Derek’s father, Tom Frazier, was co-captain of Wyoming’s 1966 team that posted a 10-1 record and defeated Florida State, 28-20, in the Sun Bowl. The Cowboys finished the season ranked No. 15 in the nation, and Frazier was a First Team All-WAC end. Derek Frazier grew up in Fort Collins, Colo., where he played at Rocky Mountain High School. He went on to play center at Northern Colorado for former Wyoming head coach Joe Glenn and was the starting center on UNC’s 1996 NCAA Division II National Championship team. Frazier was selected as his team’s Most Inspirational Player as a senior in ‘96. Prior to serving as the assistant offensive line coach for the New York Jets for the 2019 and ‘20 seasons, Frazier spent four seasons at Central Michigan where he was the Offensive Line coach in 2015 and ‘16 before being elevated to Run-Game Coordinator/Offensive Line coach for the 2017-18 seasons. CMU appeared in three consecutive bowl games from 2015-17. The Chippewas faced Minnesota in the 2015 Quick Lane Bowl, played Tulsa in the 2016 Miami Beach Bowl and faced Wyoming in the 2017 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. The 2017 season saw Frazier lead an offensive line anchored by veteran J.P. Quinn -- a Third Team All-MAC selection -- that paved the way for Jonathan Ward to become CMU’s first 1,000-yard rusher since 2014. In addition, Frazier’s offensive line protected quarterback Shane Morris in the Chippewas’ no-huddle, up-tempo scheme, helping the signal-caller to a memorable year in which he threw for 3,237 yards and 27 touchdowns. Morris’ yardage total was the seventh best for a single season in program history, and his 27 TD passes tied for the second best in CMU history. In 2015 and 2016, Frazier led a unit that protected quarterback Cooper Rush, who developed into one of the very best to ever play for CMU, finishing his career second in program history in passing yardage (12,891) and touchdown passes (90). Among Frazier’s top protégés during his time at CMU were two-time First Team All-MAC center Nick Beamish, along with Ramadan Ahmeti and Quinn. Frazier spent three seasons as the offensive line coach at Colorado State where he helped lead a program that went from four victories in his first season, 2012, to 10 in 2014. He helped CSU earn bids to the 2013 New Mexico Bowl, where they defeated Washington State (48-45) and the 2014 Las Vegas Bowl where they lost to Utah (10-45). The Rams went from the ninth-ranked offense in the Mountain West Conference in 2012 to the second-ranked in the MW in 2014. Frazier’s offensive line paved the way for the Rams’ Kapri Bibbs to rush for 1,741 yards and 31 touchdowns in 2013. Two Frazier-coached offensive linemen from Colorado State, Ty Sambrailo and Weston Richburg, earned First Team AllMountain West honors and Richburg was selected in the second round of the NFL draft by the New York Giants. He was one of several players that Frazier mentored who were drafted by an NFL team or signed professionally as a free agent. Frazier coached at Fresno State from 2006-11. He served as the offensive line coach for the 2006-08 seasons and added the responsibility of run-game coordinator for the 2009-11 seasons. Frazier had previously been a graduate assistant coach at Fresno State in 2003 and 2004. During his years at Fresno State, Frazier was part of six bowl teams. The Bulldogs appeared in: the 2003 Silicon Valley Bowl, defeating UCLA (17-9); the 2004 MPC Computers Bowl, defeating Virginia (37-34); the 2007 Humanitarian Bowl, beating Georgia Tech (40-28); the 2008 New Mexico Bowl vs. Colorado State (35-40); the 2009 New Mexico Bowl against Wyoming (28-35); and the 2010 Humanitarian Bowl vs. Northern Illinois (17-40). The Bulldogs dominated the line of scrimmage in consecutive bowl game victories over UCLA in 2003 and No. 18 Virginia in 2004. While at Fresno State, he helped develop All-America offensive lineman Logan Mankins, and Freshmen All-Americans Ryan Wendell, Kyle Young and Cole Popovich. Frazier was a part of a Bulldog coaching staff whose offense ranked No. 5 in the NCAA in scoring offense and was one of the nation’s most efficient in third-down conversions and red zone efficiency. Fresno State produced consecutive 1,000-yard rushers Dwayne Wright and Bryson Sumlin each year and Fresno State ranked No. 15 in the NCAA in rushing offense with 228.0 yards per game. The Bulldog line paved the way to a single-game record 503 rushing yards vs. Hawaii in 2004. Frazier was the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Adams State College for two seasons (2001-02) where he also served as the weight throws coach for the Adams State track & field team During the 2000 season, he was the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Nichols College in Dudley, Mass. He led Nichols to a 7-3 record and a share of the New England Football Conference Blue Division title with Salve Regina. After being a four-year letterman (1993-96) at Northern Colorado, Frazier began his coaching career as a high school coach in Juneau, Alaska at Douglas High School for one year. Frazier earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Northern Colorado in 1997 and an MBA from Nichols College in 2000. He and his wife, Taryn, have a daughter, Katelyn, and a son, James.

(Nebraska ‘93) Offensive Pass-Game Coordinator/Wide Receivers Mike Grant will enter his 29th season as a college coach in 2021. He was promoted to Offensive Pass-Game Coordinator in February of 2021, and will coach the Cowboy wide receivers for the sixth consecutive season. Prior to coming to Wyoming, Grant spent the previous five seasons at the University of North Texas where he coached the wide receivers, the running backs and served as recruiting coordinator during his time there. Grant has been part of 20 bowl teams -- 15 as a coach and five as a player. In his four seasons (1993-96) as a recruiting assistant and graduate assistant at his alma mater, the University of Nebraska, he was part of Husker teams that won National Championships in 1994 and ‘95. Nebraska posted back-to-back undefeated seasons in 1994 (13-0) and ‘95 (12-0), and posted an 11-2 record in 1996, finishing that season ranked No. 6 in the national polls. Grant helped coach the tight ends and offensive tackles at NU. He was on the same staff at Nebraska in 1995 and ‘96 as current Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl. Wyoming’s 2020 offense again featured one of the most effective rushing attacks in the country among FBS teams. The Pokes ranked No. 14 in the nation in rushing, averaging 219.5 rushing yards per game. UW’s passing attack also ranked No. 7 nationally in passing yards per completion (14.84 yards per pass completion). The Cowboys ranked No. 24 in fewest turnovers committed (9 total turnovers) and were No. 32 in red-zone offense (converting 23 of 26 red-zone opportunities into points). Redshirt freshman wide receiver Isaiah Neyor earned Honorable Mention All-Mountain West honors from MW head coaches and media, while averaging 31.0 yards per reception. If Neyor would have caught four more passes, he would have met the NCAA minimum of 2.0 catches per game and would have led the nation in yards per catch. The 2019 season saw the Cowboy offense rank No. 2 in the Mountain West and No. 23 in the nation in rushing offense, averaging 214. 8 yards per game. The Cowboy offense also ranked No. 10 in the NCAA in passing yards per completion (14.75 yards per completion), No. 14 in fewest tackles for loss allowed (4.62 per game), No. 26 in fewest fumbles lost (6), No. 32 in third-down conversions (43.3 percent), No. 32 in fewest sacks allowed (1.62 per game) and No. 33 in fewest turnovers committed (15). The Cowboys concluded the season with an 8-5 record and captured the Arizona Bowl championship. In 2018, the Wyoming Cowboys would win their last four games of the season to earn bowl eligibility at 6-6. In spite of the UW offense being in transition after former Cowboy quarterback Josh Allen became the No. 7 overall selection in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Wyoming offense hit its stride during that four-game winning streak to end the 2018 season. During that four-game win streak, the Pokes averaged 31.0 points and 415.5 yards per game. UW’s 2018 offense also ranked No. 1 in the MW and No. 4 in the nation in fewest turnovers, committing only 11 total turnovers for the year. Grant helped coach a Wyoming offense in 2017 that was extremely efficient in the red zone, scoring on 33 of 34 red-zone opportunities to rank No. 2 in the nation. The offense also did an excellent job of protecting the ball, committing only 14 turnovers to rank No. 19 in the country. UW’s offense combined with its defense (38 turnovers forced) to rank No. 1 in the nation in turnover margin, with a +24 turnover margin. Wyoming would record eight wins for the second straight season, and the Pokes posted a convincing 37-14 win in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl over Central Michigan. In that bowl victory, all three of Wyoming’s offensive touchdowns came on touchdown passes to Wyoming wide receivers. During Grant’s first season with the Wyoming Cowboys in 2016, he coached senior wide receiver Tanner Gentry, who earned Second Team All-Mountain West honors and signed a free-agent contract with the Chicago Bears in the spring of 2017. Gentry was named to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List for the second consecutive year. He caught 14 touchdown passes in 2016 to lead the Mountain West Conference and rank No. 9 in the nation. Gentry’s 1,326 receiving yards in 2016 also led the MW and ranked 12th in the NCAA. He averaged 94.7 receiving yards per game, ranking him No. 3 in the conference and No. 21 in the country. His 18.42 yards per reception was 27th best in the nation. Grant also coached senior wide receiver Jake Maulhardt, who was invited to the New Orleans Saints rookie camp in the spring of 2017. Grant was part of a coaching staff that led the 2016 Cowboy offense to a very productive season. The Pokes averaged 35.9 points per game to rank No. 2 in the Mountain West and No. 25 in the nation. The passing game, averaged 15.3 yards per completion to rank No. 8 in the NCAA, and in red-zone offense the Pokes converted 90.6 percent of their red-zone opportunities into scores to rank 14th in the country. Wyoming’s offense ranked No. 1 in the MW and No. 22 in the NCAA in first downs (312), was No. 32 in the nation in time of possession (31:34), ranked No. 33 in the country in passing efficiency (143.82 rating) and No. 36 in the nation in rushing offense, averaging 205.4 yards per game. Grant earned his first full-time coaching position in 1997, coaching the wide receivers and tight ends at James Madison University. Grant has coached at the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level for the past 24 seasons, including: nine seasons at Iowa State (199806), one season at Southern Miss (2007), three at Western Michigan (2008-10), five seasons at North Texas (2011-15) and now six seasons at Wyoming (2016-Present). While at North Texas, Grant started out as the running backs coach for two seasons in 2011 and ‘12. As the running backs coach, Grant coached Lance Dunbar, who became the career rushing leader in North Texas history and earned All-Sun Belt Conference honors. Grant took over as the wide receivers coach from 2013-15 and added recruiting coordinator responsibilities in 2014 and ‘15. Among the top receivers he coached at North Texas were Brelan Chancellor, who in 2013 became the first player in Conference USA history to earn First Team All-Conference honors as both a punt returner and kickoff returner. Chancellor also earned Second Team AllConference honors at wide receiver. Wide receiver Darnell Smith was an Honorable Mention All-Conference honoree in 2013. In 2015, wide receiver Carlos Harris finished his career No. 2 in North Texas school history in career receptions, No. 5 in career receiving yards and No. 9 in career all-purpose yards. While coaching the wide receivers at Western Michigan from 2008-10, Grant coached four All-Mid-American Conference receivers. In 2010, he had two receivers, Jordan White and Juan Nunez, record 1,000-yard receiving seasons and each caught over 90 passes. White set a school single-season record with 1,378 receiving yards in 2010 on way to earning Honorable Mention All-America honors from CNN/SI and First Team All-MAC honors. He also concluded his career as Western Michigan’s career record holder for receiving yards. Nunez had 1,032 yards receiving in 2010 and also earned First Team All-MAC honors. In 2008, Grant coached wide receiver Jamarko Simmons, who led the MAC in receptions (98) and receiving yards (1,100). Simmons ranked No. 3 in the NCAA in receptions in 2008 and earned Second Team All-America honors. Grant’s time at Iowa State included him coaching two receivers who would break the Iowa State career receiving record. In 2002, Lane Danielson became the Cyclones’ all-time leading receiver and earned All-Big 12 recognition. Then three years later in 2005, Todd Blythe broke Danielson’s record on way to earning First Team All-Big 12 honors. Grant also coached First Team All-Big 12 running back Ennis Haywood in 2000. Grant has continued to develop his coaching skills throughout his career. He participated in the 2009 NCAA Football Coach’s Academy, the 2013 NCAA/NFL Coach’s Academy and the Bill Walsh NFL Minority Internship Program, serving an internship in 2013 with the Buffalo Bills. A quarterback at Nebraska from 1988-92, he was a three-year letterwinner and was named to the Phillips 66 Academic All-Big Eight Honor Roll. He earned his bachelor’s degree in communication studies from Nebraska in 1993, added a second bachelor’s degree in journalism with a concentration in advertising in 1995 and has completed his course work for his master’s degree in mass communication. He and his wife, Nina, have one daughter, Mireia.

Gordie Haug will coach Wyoming’s running backs for the fourth consecutive season in 2021, and he will continue in his role as Director of Player Personnel. In previous years at Wyoming, he has served as the Director of Recruiting and wide receivers coach. Each of Haug’s first three seasons coaching the Wyoming running backs UW has had the league’s No. 1 rusher and a First Team All-Mountain West selection -- Xazavian Valladay in 2019 and ‘20 and Nico Evans in 2018. Wyoming’s 2020 offense again featured one of the most effective rushing attacks in the country among FBS teams. The Pokes ranked No. 14 in the nation in rushing, averaging 219.5 rushing yards per game. UW’s passing attack also ranked No. 7 nationally in passing yards per completion (14.84 yards per pass completion). The Cowboys ranked No. 24 in fewest turnovers committed (9 total turnovers) and were No. 32 in red-zone offense (converting 23 of 26 red-zone opportunities into points). Valladay averaged 110.0 rushing yards per game to lead the Mountain West and rank No. 17 in the nation. He also averaged 131.00 allpurpose yards per game to rank No. 27 nationally. Valladay had two 100-yard rushing games in the five games he played in 2020. He ran for 147 yards at Colorado State and had 163 rushing yards versus Hawai’i. In 2019, the Cowboy offense ranked No. 23 in the nation in rushing offense, averaging 214. 8 yards per game. Valladay rushed for 1,265 yards to lead the league. He averaged 105.4 rushing yards per game to rank No. 18 in the nation. He also led the conference and ranked No. 26 nationally in all-purpose yards, averaging 124.08 yards per game. Valladay’s 204-yard performance in Wyoming’s 38-17 NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl victory earned him a spot on the 2019 Associated Press All-Bowl Team. He also caught three passes for 91 yards in the bowl win and scored one touchdown rushing and one receiving while accounting for 295 all-purpose yards. Valladay was one of only three running backs in the nation named to the AP All-Bowl Team, joining Penn State’s Journey Brown and Florida’s Lamical Perine. Valladay rushed for 100 or more yards seven times in the 12 games he played in 2019, and he rushed for over 200 yards twice. His best games were 206 rushing yards vs. Nevada and 204 against Georgia State in the Arizona Bowl. His other five 100-yard rushing games included: 118 vs. Missouri, 127 vs. New Mexico, 124 at Boise State, 114 at Utah State and 154 vs. Colorado State. Valladay showed his potential in the final game of his redshirt freshman season of 2018 when he carried the ball 22 times for 192 yards and scored two rushing touchdowns in a 31-3 road win over the New Mexico Lobos. The 2019 Cowboy offense also ranked No. 10 in the NCAA in passing yards per completion (14.75 yards per completion), No. 14 in fewest tackles for loss allowed (4.62 per game), No. 26 in fewest fumbles lost (6), No. 32 in third-down conversions (43.3 percent), No. 32 in fewest sacks allowed (1.62 per game) and No. 33 in fewest turnovers committed (15). The Cowboys concluded the season with an 8-5 record and captured the Arizona Bowl championship. In his first season coaching the Cowboy running backs, Haug worked with 2018 senior Nico Evans, who led the Mountain West and ranked No. 4 in the nation in rushing as he averaged 132.5 rushing yards per game. Evans also led the MW and ranked No. 12 in the NCAA in all-purpose yards (139.1 yards per game). His 1,325 net rushing yards ranked as the No. 4 best single season in University of Wyoming history. Evans earned First Team All-Mountain West honors and played in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, an All-Star game for college seniors leading up to the NFL Draft. He signed a free-agent deal with the Philadelphia Eagles following the 2019 NFL Draft. Haug also coached running backs at North Dakota State in 2012 and ‘13. Over his five previous seasons coaching running backs (2012, ‘13, ‘18, ‘19 and ‘20), Haug has had six running backs rush for 1,000 yards in a single season. The 2012 and ‘13 NDSU teams had two running backs rush for 1,000 yards in each of those seasons. In 2018, Wyoming’s rushing attack ranked No. 4 in the Mountain West and No. 39 in the NCAA in rushing as a team. UW’s offense also ranked No. 1 in the MW and No. 4 in the nation in fewest turnovers, committing only 11 total turnovers for the year. In spite of the Wyoming offense being in transition with two young quarterbacks in Sean Chambers and Tyler Vander Waal guiding the offense after former Cowboy Josh Allen moved on to the NFL as the No. 7 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Wyoming offense hit its stride during a four-game winning streak to end the 2018 season. During that four-game win streak, UW’s offense averaged 31.0 points and 415.5 yards per game. Haug has been very innovative in directing recruiting efforts for Cowboy Football. He has also coordinated summer camps for Wyoming Football in the past, and has built a very extensive and productive summer satellite camp program. In 2015 while maintaining his duties as Director of Recruiting, Haug also coached the Wyoming wide receivers. Junior wide receiver Tanner Gentry was named to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List in 2015. Haug came to Wyoming from North Dakota State where he was a member of head coach Craig Bohl’s coaching staff for the 2012 and 2013 seasons, working as an offensive assistant. In Haug’s two years on the NDSU staff, the Bison posted a combined overall record of 29-1 and a Missouri Valley Football Conference record of 15-1, while capturing back-to-back Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) National Championships. The 2013 NDSU squad became the first undefeated (15-0) FCS National Champion since Marshall went 15-0 to win the 1996 title. That 15-0 record by the Bison also set a North Dakota State school record. NDSU extended its winning streak to 24 consecutive games with the 2013 FCS Championship. That tied both the FCS and NDSU records for consecutive victories. The University of Pennsylvania set the FCS record of 24 consecutive wins from 1992-95. Montana later tied the record from 2001-02. The NDSU record was originally set from 1964-66. Haug coached the running backs at North Dakota State in 2012 and ‘13. Each of those two seasons, NDSU had two individuals rush for over 1,000 yards. In 2013, Sam Ojuri rushed for 1,398 yards and John Crockett rushed for 1,277 yards. The 2012 season saw Ojuri rush for 1,047 yards and Crockett rush for 1,038. In 2013, the North Dakota State offense ranked No. 10 in the nation in scoring offense (38.7 points per game), No. 7 in rushing offense (257.3 yards per game), No. 14 in total offense (457.5 yards per game), No. 1 in third-down efficiency (55.4%), No. 3 in passing efficiency (164.9) and No. 6 in red-zone offense (89.2%). The 2013 NDSU offense also was one of only 12 FCS teams to average 200+ yards rushing and 200+ yards passing per game. The 2012 Bison offense ranked No. 7 in the nation in third-down efficiency (50.7%) and No. 16 in red-zone offense (89.2%). Before joining the North Dakota State staff, Haug spent five years (2007-11) coaching at his alma mater, Bemidji State University in Minnesota. He began as a student assistant for two years (2007-08), working with the linebackers. Haug then moved into a graduate assistant role for two seasons (2009-10), working with the running backs. He became a full-time assistant coach on the staff his final season (2011), coaching the defensive line. At Bemidji State, Haug was also involved in recruiting and assisted with the strength and conditioning program. He earned his bachelor’s degree in community health in 2009 and master’s degree in sports science in 2011, both from Bemidji State.

(Washington ‘94) Defensive Run-Game Coordinator/Defensive Tackles and Nose Tackles Pete Kaligis was promoted to the position of Defensive Run-Game Coordinator in February of 2020. He will coach the Wyoming defensive tackles and nose tackles for the eighth straight year in 2021. Kaligis is the longest serving assistant coach on the current Cowboy coaching staff. He will enter his 13th consecutive year at Wyoming this season. The 2021 season will mark Kaligis’ 28th season as a coach. “Pete (Kaligis) has been a valuable asset to our defense,” said Bohl. “His role will increase with these new responsibilities. He transitioned from being an offensive coach prior to joining our staff to becoming a very effective defensive coach who does a great job mentoring his players. He is well versed in our defense and will be a great resource to the new coaches joining our defensive staff.” “In 2009, my family and I fell in love with this community,” said Kaligis. “At that time, I had two major goals with the first being the desire to be the best coach and representative I could possibly be for the University of Wyoming. The second goal was on a more personal level and that was to have the opportunity for my family - who sacrifices a great deal for me to continue in this profession - to remain in Laramie, allowing my kids to graduate from Laramie High School. “When Coach Bohl was hired, I interviewed and accepted a position that moved me from one side of the ball (offense) to the other (defense), which obviously meant a steep learning curve. The fact that in a few short years he has the confidence in me to provide me this new challenge means a great deal and is incredibly motivating, as it adds a new dimension to my studies. I have always considered it an honor and privilege to work with the young men I coach.” In 2020, the Wyoming defense was among the best in the nation, ranking No. 16 in the nation in total defense, allowing opponents only 328.0 yards per game. UW’s defense also ranked No. 21 in rushing defense (125.3 yards per game), No. 24 in scoring defense (21.0 points per game) and No. 29 in pass defense (202.7 yards per game). Kaligis’ interior defensive line group was made up of a group of young players in 2020, and that group stepped up and played outstanding football throughout the season. Kaligis was part of a defensive staff that coached the Cowboys to a No. 11 ranking in the nation in scoring defense (17.8 points per game allowed) and No. 11 in rushing defense (107.1 rushing yards allowed) in 2019. Wyoming’s defense also was No. 6 in the country in red-zone defense (allowing opponents to convert only 68.9 percent of the time) and scored three defensive touchdowns to rank No. 12 in the FBS. UW’s defensive performance in 2019 helped the Pokes to an 8-5 record and a victory in the NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl. He had a young interior defensive line group who played extremely effectively together. Wyoming was also one of the best defensive teams in the nation in 2018. The Cowboys ranked No. 19 in the nation in total defense (allowing opponents only 326.2 yards per game), were No. 25 in the NCAA in rushing defense (129.5 yards per game), ranked No. 28 in scoring defense (giving up only 22.0 points per game) and were No. 32 in pass defense (196.7 yards per game). The UW defense also ranked No. 16 in the country in fewest first downs allowed to opponents (223). One of the Cowboy seniors coached by Kaligis in 2018 was nose tackle Sidney Malauulu, who attended rookie camp with the San Francisco 49ers following the 2019 NFL Draft. In 2017, the Cowboy defense enjoyed an exceptional season. Wyoming’s defense ranked No. 1 in the nation in takeaways in 2017, forcing 38 opponent turnovers. The Pokes ranked No. 9 in the country in scoring defense, allowing opponents only 17.5 points per game. UW ranked No. 1 in the NCAA in fumbles recovered (18), No. 2 in the nation in interceptions (20), No. 8 in defensive touchdowns scored (4 TDs), No. 13 in pass defense (174.9 passing yards allowed), and No. 23 in total defense (335.2 total yards allowed). Kaligis’ interior defensive line unit in 2016 was led by senior nose tackle Chase Appleby, who made two of the biggest plays of the season for the Cowboys. Appleby returned an interception 55 yards versus Colorado State for what proved to be the winning touchdown for the Cowboys. Later in the season against No. 13 ranked Boise State, Appleby created a game-winning safety to give Wyoming a 30-28 victory that resulted in Wyoming winning the Mountain Division of the Mountain West Conference. The Pokes went on to host the 2016 MW Championship Game and earn a bid to the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl. As a unit, the 2016 Cowboy defense scored five defensive touchdowns to rank No. 1 in the Mountain West and No. 3 in the nation. Wyoming recovered 12 opponent fumbles, ranking No. 1 in the MW and No. 15 in the NCAA. The Cowboys’ 15 interceptions were second best in the conference and 22nd nationally. UW’s 27 total forced turnovers ranked No. 2 in the Mountain West and No. 10 in the country. In his first season coaching the Cowboys’ interior defensive line in 2014, he coached senior defensive tackle Patrick Mertens. Mertens signed as a free agent with the Baltimore Ravens of the NFL following his senior year. During his previous years coaching at the college level, Kaligis has been a part of 15 teams that advanced to postseason play, including eight bowl appearances with NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision teams. Five of those bowl appearances have come at Wyoming, including the Cowboys’ victory in the 2019 Arizona Bowl, UW’s win in the 2017 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, appearance in the 2016 San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, bid to the 2011 Gildan New Mexico Bowl and win in the 2009 New Mexico Bowl. Kaligis was a strength and conditioning coach at Washington when the Huskies played in the 1999 Holiday Bowl, won the 2000 Rose Bowl (defeating Purdue, 34-24) and played in the 2002 Sun Bowl. Kaligis served as Wyoming’s assistant head coach, co-offensive coordinator and running backs coach in 2013. Sophomore running back Shaun Wick narrowly missed the 1,000-yard plateau in 2013, rushing for 979 yards. Wick ended his Wyoming career in 2016 with 2,533 career rushing yards to rank No. 6 on the Wyoming career list. For the 2012 season, Kaligis was promoted to assistant head coach and coached both the Cowboy offensive line and running backs. Kaligis’ first three years at Wyoming (2009-11) he coached the Cowboy offensive line. In 2013, Wyoming ranked 22nd in the nation in total offense (472.8 yards per game) and 26th in passing offense (282.4 yards per game). The Wyoming offense ranked second in the Mountain West Conference and 38th in the nation in passing offense in 2012, averaging 265.4 yards per game. The 2012 season saw Kaligis coach First Team All-Mountain West center Nick Carlson. Carlson was named to the Rimington Trophy Watch List for the second time his senior season. The Rimington Trophy honors the nation’s top center each season. Carlson was also named to the 2012 Rotary Lombardi Award Watch List, and was one of only 10 national finalists for the ARA Sportsmanship Award as a senior. Carlson (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and senior offensive tackles Josh Leonard (Oakland Raiders) and Kyle Magnuson (Oakland Raiders) each were invited to NFL camps as free agents following their senior seasons. In 2011, the Cowboy offense ranked No. 11 in the nation in fewest sacks allowed, allowing only 12 sacks in 13 games. Three UW offensive linemen earned Mountain West All-Conference honors in 2011. Senior tackle Clayton Kirven and junior center Nick Carlson were named Second Team All-Mountain West. Sophomore offensive guard Tyler Strong earned Honorable Mention All-Conference recognition. Carlson was named to the Rimington Trophy Watch List for the first time in 2011. Kaligis coached sophomore center Carlson in 2010. Carlson went on to earn Honorable Mention All-Mountain West Conference honors. One of Kaligis’ 2009 Cowboys, offensive tackle Ryan Otterson, signed a free-agent contract with the San Diego Chargers following the 2010 NFL Draft. An outstanding college football player and track and field athlete, Kaligis started all 12 games at offensive guard for the Washington Huskies and former head football coach Don James when they captured the 1991 National Championship. The Huskies posted a perfect 12-0 record and defeated Michigan, 34-14, in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, 1992, to win the national title. Kaligis was a member of the Husky Football team from 1990-94. He was an All-American in track and field in the shot put. He won the gold medal at the 1995 U.S. Olympic Festival, and placed third in the 1995 University Games. He participated in the 1996 Olympic Trials in track and field in the shot put. Kaligis earned his B.A. degree in sociology and law enforcement at Washington in 1994. He and his wife, Kristine, have a daughter, Harlie Grace, and a son, Cooper.

Shannon Moore will enter his third season coaching the Wyoming tight ends and fullbacks and coordinating special teams for the Pokes in 2021. He joined the Wyoming coaching staff in January 2019. Moore came to Wyoming after spending the previous three years at East Carolina University. Wyoming’s 2020 offense again featured one of the most effective rushing attacks in the country among FBS teams. The Pokes ranked No. 14 in the nation in rushing, averaging 219.5 rushing yards per game. UW’s passing attack also ranked No. 7 nationally in passing yards per completion (14.84 yards per pass completion). The Cowboys ranked No. 24 in fewest turnovers committed (9 total turnovers) and were No. 32 in red-zone offense (converting 23 of 26 red-zone opportunities into points). The tight end group combined for 12 catches for 184 yards in six games, with sophomore Treyton Welch leading the group with five receptions for 95 yards. Moore’s tight ends and fullbacks were key in opening holes for junior running back Xazavian Valladay, who earned First Team All-Mountain West honors and led the league in rushing for the second consecutive season. Valladay averaged 110.0 rushing yards per game to not only lead the Mountain West but rank No. 17 in the nation. He also averaged 131.00 all-purpose yards per game to rank No. 27 nationally. Valladay had two 100-yard rushing games in the five games he played in 2020. He ran for 147 yards at Colorado State and had 163 rushing yards versus Hawai’i. In 2019, the Cowboy offense ranked No. 2 in the Mountain West and No. 23 in the nation in rushing offense, averaging 214. 8 yards per game. The Cowboy offense also ranked No. 10 in the NCAA in passing yards per completion (14.75 yards per completion), No. 14 in fewest tackles for loss allowed (4.62 per game), No. 26 in fewest fumbles lost (6), No. 32 in third-down conversions (43.3 percent), No. 32 in fewest sacks allowed (1.62 per game) and No. 33 in fewest turnovers committed (15). The Cowboy fullbacks and tight ends helped block for running back Valladay, who earned First Team All-Mountain West honors for the 2019 season. Valladay rushed for 1,265 yards to lead the league. He averaged 105.4 rushing yards per game to rank No. 18 in the nation. He also led the conference and ranked No. 26 nationally in all-purpose yards, averaging 124.08 yards per game. Valladay was one of only three running backs in the nation named to the Associated Press All-Bowl team. Moore’s tight ends combined for 29 receptions for 391 yards and four touchdowns in 2019, and were led by senior team captain Josh Harshman from Casper, Wyo., who had 20 catches for 264 yards and two TDs. On special teams, Wyoming ranked No. 1 in the Mountain West and No. 4 in the nation in kickoff returns, averaging 27.73 yards per return. UW was No. 4 in the MW and No. 34 in the NCAA in punt returns, averaging 10.76 yards per return, and senior punt returner Austin Conway ranked No. 2 in the conference and No. 14 nationally in punt returns (10.8 yards per return). Conway was named Second Team All-Mountain West as a return specialist in voting by conference head coaches and media. A native of Gordon, Neb., Moore has been coaching at the college level for 17 of the last 18 seasons. The other season he was the head coach of the Wyoming Cavalry of the National Indoor Football League. He came to Wyoming from East Carolina University, which is a member of the American Athletic Conference. Moore coached at East Carolina for three seasons from 2016-18. His first two seasons, he coached the tight ends and coordinated the special teams for the Pirates, including coordinating the field goal, punt and kickoff return and punt and kickoff coverage teams. In 2016, punter Worth Gregory earned All-American Athletic Conference honors and place-kicker Davis Plowman ranked No. 2 in the AAC in field goals made per game and in field-goal percentage. The 2017 season saw punter Austin Barnes lead the AAC in punting and rank No. 19 in the nation, while place-kicker Jake Verity ranked No. 2 in the AAC and No. 33 in the nation in field goals made per game.

SEASON IN REVIEW


SEA S O N IN RE V IEW

2020 GAME RECAP AGAINST NEVADA RECAP: Saturday’s season opener for the Wyoming Cowboys was an emotional one. On the third play of the game, Wyoming starting quarterback and team captain Sean Chambers suffered an ankle injury that required him to be carted off the field. But after suffering that dramatic loss of their QB, the Cowboys showed incredible heart as they fought back from a 22-point deficit (28-6) with 3:47 remaining in the third quarter to force overtime before falling 37-34 in the first overtime to the Wolf Pack. The Cowboy defense kept Wyoming in the game in the first half, forcing two Nevada turnovers and making a dramatic goal-line stand. At halftime, UW trailed by only eight points at 14-6. Nevada would come out in the third quarter and score touchdowns on backto-back drives to take their largest lead at 28-6 late in the third. But from that point forward the Pokes Box Score (Final) took charge and fought back to tie the game 28-28 Wyoming Football Wyoming Cowboys vs Nevada (Oct 24, 2020 at Reno, NV) at the 8:30 mark of the fourth quarter.

In the first overtime, Wyoming could not convert a first down and Hoyland would come in to kick a 38-yard field goal, his fourth of the game, to give Wyoming its first lead of the game at 34-31. But Nevada quarterback Carson Strong would find wide receiver Romeo Doubs on a nine-yard touchdown pass to win the game 37-31. After the game, Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl had this to say about the hard-fought game, including commenting about the difficult week faced by Nevada head coach Jay Norvell, whose father Merritt Norvell passed away earlier this week. “First of all I want to give credit to Nevada,” said Bohl. “I know Coach (Jay) Norvell has gone through a lot this week. I knew his father. I’m sure his team rallied around Coach Norvell. I thought they (Nevada) played well. “We got off to a slow start and there are certainly things we need to work on in all three phases of the game. The desire is there but the execution needs to improve. We have a lot to play for this year, and we play a good Hawai’i team in Laramie this next week. “Football is a game of momentum. Our guys believed. They didn’t panic. They played with poise, and the momentum started to swing our way. I can’t say enough about our freshman kicker (John Hoyland). I thought he was unbelievable. There are a lot of good things, but there are things we have to work on.”

2020 GAME RECAP AGAINST HAWAI’I RECAP: The Wyoming Cowboys came out of the gate fast on Friday night in their 2020 home opener versus the Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors. Wyoming’s dynamic rushing attack and swarming defense resulted in the Cowboys recording a 31-7 win over the Rainbow Warriors in the 25th meeting between the two teams. Both teams are now 1-1 on the season. It was the ninth consecutive home win for Wyoming. The Cowboys have a record of 21-6 (.778) in home games since the beginning of the 2016 season. Cowboy junior running back Xazavian Valladay notched his ninth career 100-yard rushing game and first of the 2020 season. He ended the game with 163 rushing yards on 32 carries. Valladay also caught two passes for 32 yards to end the night with 195 all-purpose yards. The other Cowboy running back who had an outstanding game was graduate transfer Trey Smith, who ran for 89 yards on 20 carries. Both Valladay and Smith each scored two rushing touchdowns. As a team, the Cowboys ran for 281 yards and had 112 yards passing for 393 yards of total offense. Wyoming’s defense held Hawai’i to 233 yards of total offense -- 123 rushing yards and 110 passing.

Following the game, Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl shared his thought on the game with media over a Zoom press conference. “Trey (Smith) really ran hard tonight and made some excellent runs. X (Xazavian Valladay) has a unique ability to put his foot in the ground, be allusive and he has great balance,” said Bohl. “To have a one-two punch like that really makes a big, big difference. “This is one of our trademarks, if we can handle the line of scrimmage, run the football and play good defense that is a winning formula.” Asked what he saw from his team’s pass defense on Friday vs. Hawai’i that was different from the defense’s performance the week before against Nevada, Bohl responded, “I think we challenged the receivers more tonight. Last week, I thought we were a little bit passive. We were also able to eliminate a lot of their (Hawai’i’s) primary runs and that allowed us to get into some different looks and pressure the quarterback. It was a combination of our coverage and our four-man rush.” Bohl was asked if the Charles Hicks’ interception felt like a turning point in the game, Bohl said, “I felt like if we could score on that drive it would change the complexion of the game, and it certainly did.”

The head coach was also questioned about the play of redshirt freshman quarterback Levi Williams and whether he felt Williams was more comfortable in Friday night’s win than he was a week ago. “He made improvements,” said Bohl. “There are still things he needs to do to improve his game. But the number of reps he was able to take this week in practice and knowing he was going to play the whole game I think made a difference.” The Cowboy offense generated 13 explosive plays of 10 yards or more in the win over the Rainbow Warriors -- nine rushing plays and four pass plays.

Defensively, Wyoming recorded 5.0 sacks, 7.0 tackles for loss and had four pass breakups to go with its two forced turnovers. Three Cowboys tied for the team lead in tackles with seven tackles apiece. Muma had seven tackles and a fumble recovery.

2020 GAME RECAP AGAINST COLORADO STATE RECAP: The Wyoming Cowboys came into Thursday night’s 112th Edition of the “Border War” looking for their fifth consecutive victory in the series. But a pair of first-quarter turnovers that were converted into 14 points by Colorado State was a deficit that UW could never overcome on way to a 34-24 loss to the Rams in Fort Collins. There were many outstanding individual performances on the night for the Cowboys, unfortunately they weren’t enough to balance out not only the turnovers but also an uncharacteristic eight penalties for 83 yards by Wyoming -- several of them coming at critical times to stop drives. Wyoming entered the game ranked No. 4 in the nation in fewest penalty yards per game at 26.5 yards per game the first two weeks of the season, but had 83 yards in penalties on Thursday night. Cowboy head coach Craig Bohl acknowledged that the early turnovers and penalties had a big impact on the game, while also giving credit to the way CSU played.

“Colorado State came out with a hard edge and they executed well,” said Bohl. “I think we did some things that were uncharacteristic of us. Typically, we’ve been ahead on the turnover margin and that didn’t occur tonight. And I thought we had way more penalties than we normally do.

“When you play a rivalry game you need to be on point and we weren’t. We are going to have to take a hard look at our preparation. We have to take ownership of our performance and have some hard conversations about where we’re at and how we respond.”

Asked how difficult it was to face the early deficit the Cowboys found themselves in, Bohl said, “I was concerned during that early part of the game that the deficit could grow to where it would have been insurmountable, but I thought our guys rallied and kept us in the game.

2020 GAME RECAP AGAINST UNLV RECAP: The Cowboys (2-2 over, 2-2 MW) rushed for 399 yards in a 45-14 road win over UNLV (0-5 overall, 0-5 MW) on Friday afternoon in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. It was the most rushing yards in a game since rushing for 424 yards against San Jose State on Nov. 3, 2018. Wyoming scored six touchdowns on the ground in the contest. “We talked at halftime about our execution and UNLV good players and we had to make them work hard,” UW head coach Craig Bohl. “We reestablished the momentum on the fourth down play and went down and scored and that got thing rolling for us. Our point of attack on the defensive and offensive line were well up to par.” Senior Trey Smith rushed for a career-high 156 yards with one touchdown. He recorded 6.8 yards per carry for the game with a long of 28 yards. Junior Xazavian Valladay added 94 yards and a touchdown from 78 yards a career high. He left the game in the first quarter. “Our offensive line did a great job of opening up holes,” Bohl said. “Trey (Smith) kept his feet moving and made some great runs, it was very heartwarming to see him out there and execute at such a high level.”

2020 GAME RECAP AGAINST BOISE STATE RECAP: It was only the second home game of the year for the Wyoming Cowboys on Saturday, but it was also the season finale in a shortened season that was unlike any in Wyoming history. The Cowboy defense was outstanding on the night, but the Boise State Broncos were able to come up with enough to capture a 17-9 road win over the Pokes. Wyoming ended the year with a 2-4 overall record and a 2-4 mark in the Mountain West. Boise State improved to 5-1 overall and 5-0 in the MW. On the night, Wyoming was able to slow down the Bronco rushing attack, allowing only 111 rushing yards and coming up with 7.0 tackles for loss for a -21 yards. But the Boise State defense was just as effective in limiting Wyoming’s rushing game, giving up only 82 rushing yards to the Cowboys.

There wasn’t much success for either team thru the air on a night that saw it snow throughout the game in Wyoming’s War Memorial Stadium. The Broncos completed 19 of 29 passes for 181 yards, one TD and one interception. The Cowboys completed only 4 of 21 passes for 64 yards and threw one interception. Boise State ended the night with 292 yards of total offense to Wyoming’s 146. Wyoming’s nine points on the day came on three field goals from outstanding freshman place-kicker John Hoyland. The true freshman from Broomfield, Colo., gave Wyoming an early lead with a 42-yard field goal in the first quarter to put UW up 3-0. The 42-yarder tied a career best for Hoyland. He added a 36-yarder in the third quarter and another 36-yarder in the fourth quarter. Hoyland entered Saturday’s game leading the nation in field goals made per game, averaging 2.00. He ended the 2020 season making 13 of the 14 (92.9 percent) field goals he attempted. Boise State’s 17 points came on a four-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Hank Bachmeier to running back George Holani in the first quarter, a 34-yard field goal in the second quarter by placekicker Jonah Dalmas and a third quarter TD run from two yards out by running back Andrew Van Buren. The Cowboy defense was led by redshirt freshman linebacker Easton Gibbs, who had a team high 13 tackles, including 1.0 tackle for loss in his first career start for Wyoming. Junior linebacker Chad Muma also had 13 tackles on the night, marking the fifth game in six total games this season that he recorded double figures in tackles.

On offense, junior running back Xazavian Valladay rushed for 59 yards on 11 carries and averaged 5.4 yards per carry. He moved into eighth place in career rushing yards at Wyoming, with 2,224 yards, passing Walt Goffigan, Kevin Lowe and Derek Armah. Graduate transfer running back Trey Smith had 42 rushing yards, also carrying the ball 11 times. For Boise State, junior running back Andrew Van Buren rushed for 79 yards and one TD. Junior wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught eight passes for 105 yards and rushed for 38 yards.

LARRY BIRLEFFI PRESS ROOM

LARRY BIRLEFFI BIRLEFFI, flanked by former UW Athletics Director Paul Roach (on left) acknowledges the crowd on Oct. 17, 1992, the day UW dedicated the press area in the War Memorial Stadium Press Box as “The Larry Birleffi Press Room”.

In 1992 the University of Wyoming Athletics Department honored long-time newspaper, radio and TV personality Larry Birleffi, by naming the working press area in the War Memorial Stadium media facility after him. For over 50 years, and 1200 events, Birleffi covered the Cowboys and Cowgirls for newspaper, radio and television. While coaches, players and fans have come and gone, Birleffi was there. He was the one common thread through the tapestry that is Wyoming tradition. He carried the word of Wyoming athletics longer, and more effectively, than any other. He was inducted into the University of Wyoming Athletics Hall of Fame in 1996. Born in Hartville, Wyoming’s first incorporated town on April 17, 1918, Birleffi graduated from the University of Wyoming in 1942. He had begun covering the Cowboys for the UW student newspaper the Branding Iron in 1937. Birleffi died on September 27, 2008.

T HE BILETNIKOFF AWARD Honoring the Nation's Top Receiver

MARCUS HARRIS, 1996

Marcus Harris is presented with the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top receiver in 1996. One of Wyoming’s most decorated football players, Marcus Harris was a consensus All-American in 1996, being selected First Team All-American by the Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America, American Football Coaches Association, Walter Camp Football Foundation, and Football News. In 1996, he won the Biletnikoff Award (named after former Oakland Raiders receiver Fred Biletnikoff), symbolic of the nation’s top receiver. He also finished ninth in the Heisman Trophy balloting in 1996. During his college career, Harris became the NCAA’s all-time leader in receiving yards with 4,518 career yards, and he remains the only receiver in NCAA history to have three 1,400 yard receiving seasons. With his 1,650 yards in 1996, Harris led the nation in receiving yards, earned First-Team All-Western Athletic Conference honors for the third straight year, and was named the WAC Co-Offensive Player of the Year.

MO U NTA IN W ES T

Bret Gilliland Deputy Commissioner

Stuart Buchanan Director of Strategic Communications

Greg Burks Coordinator of Football Officials

Mountain West Com mis sion er Craig Thompson Craig Thompson was the Mountain West Conference’s first employee when he was named Commissioner on Oct. 15, 1998. Ever since, Thompson has navigated the Conference through the ever-changing landscape of intercollegiate athletics. As the league celebrates its 20th season of competition in 2018-19, Thompson continues to create and improve the opportunities for Mountain West institutions and student-athletes to be successful both academically and athletically. Since the Mountain West opened its doors on January 4, 1999, Thompson has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW has flourished under the guidance of Commissioner Thompson and continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. He has been instrumental in negotiating nearly $300 million in television revenue and has been an innovator in the postseason bowl structure as MW teams have participated in six inaugural bowl games. As conference realignment spread throughout the collegiate landscape, Thompson positioned the Mountain West for the future with the additions of Fresno State and the University of Nevada on July 1, 2012, and San José State University and Utah State University on July 1, 2013. The University of Hawai‘i also joined the league as a football-only member on July 1, 2012, while Colorado College became a member in women’s soccer on July 1, 2014. Thompson’s leadership and vision have helped the Conference enhance its television revenue and exposure through revolutionary agreements with CBS Sports Network and ESPN, becoming the first major collegiate athletic conference to launch a dedicated sports channel featuring exclusive programming around its athletic programs, as well as conference news. In the summer of 2006, the centerpiece of this historic relationship was realized with the launch of The Mtn. – MountainWest Sports Network – the first sports network dedicated to serving a single collegiate athletic conference. The Mountain West was also one of the first conferences to develop its own digital network and in collaboration with Stadium, continues to expand and enhance the league’s profile by taking advantage of the latest in digital technology via the Mountain West Network (MWN). As a result, the Mountain West again broke new ground in 2016, becoming the first league to broadcast a football game live on Twitter. The MW was also the first conference to broadcast a live basketball game on the same platform, as well as the first to have a bowl game streamed live on Twitter and Facebook. Thompson has been instrumental in strengthening the position of the Mountain West in the college football landscape - both in the previous Bowl Championship Series (BCS) format and in the current College Football Playoff (CFP) structure. In 2006, he spearheaded an effort that resulted in better access for the MW and more than doubled the annual BCS revenue on an annual basis for non-automatic-qualifying conferences. The MW has been steadfast in its efforts to find a way to make the collegiate postseason football system fair for all universities. Through its first 19 years of competition, the Mountain West has participated in 90 bowl games, amassing a 49-41 (.544) all-time record in those contests. A 40-year veteran of athletic administration, Thompson has spent all but eight of those years sitting in a commissioner’s chair, making him one of only two active FBS commissioners with more than 30 years of experience leading a conference. Throughout his career, Thompson has been an integral part of the national landscape in intercollegiate athletics, holding many prestigious posts on NCAA and sport-specific national committees. Thompson currently sits on the CFP Management Committee while also serving as a member of the College Football Officiating Board of Managers, LLC. In June 2017, he was appointed to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee for the second time in his career, following a five-year term from 1995-2000 that culminated with him serving as Chair of the committee from July 1, 1999 to September 1, 2000. Over the tenure of his career, Thompson has also been a member of the Executive Committee and the Director’s Cup Committee of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), as well as the governing NCAA Council and various Council subcommittees. In addition, he has played a prominent role in hosting numerous men’s and women’s NCAA postseason basketball tournaments in St. Louis, Atlanta, New Orleans and Denver. Prior to his current role, Thompson served as the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference for nearly eight years and as the only commissioner of the American South Conference prior to the merger of the two leagues in 1991. While at the Sun Belt Conference, he spent the majority of his time addressing national trends and challenges in intercollegiate athletics, television exposure, issues relating to conference membership and promoting corporate involvement. In 1997-98, the Sun Belt instituted a comprehensive sportsmanship policy, which earned Thompson designation as a 1998 Sports Ethics Fellow by the Institute for International Sport. Under Thompson’s leadership, the Sun Belt was active in expansion as it continued to strengthen its posture nationally, adding Florida International University and the University of Denver. Prior to its merger with the Sun Belt, Thompson served as the first and only commissioner of the American South Conference, which boasted an NCAA national champion in women’s basketball during its first year. The American South also gained immediate national cable television exposure on ESPN and sent numerous teams into NCAA postseason play during the conference’s four-year history. Preceding his move to commissioner, Thompson served four years as the Director of Communications for the Metro Conference in Atlanta. While at the Metro, he directed the communications operations and administered conference championship events. Thompson originated the Metro Conference Sportswriters and Broadcasters Association, began a weekly radio program with over 300 affiliate stations, and originated a weekly satellite video program involving all Metro institutions. He also took on administrative duties such as coordination of officials, scheduling of tournament and regular-season play, and handling of legislative rules interpretations. Thompson graduated from the University of Minnesota with an undergraduate degree in journalism. Following graduation, he spent two years as assistant sports information director at Kansas State University, earning numerous CoSIDA publication awards. He then spent three years as director of public relations and promotions for the NBA’s Kansas City Kings. Thompson and his wife, Carla, have a son (Ted) and a daughter (Emma).

UW A D M INIS T RAT IO N

D r. E d w a r d S e i d e l University of Wyoming, President

Ed Seidel began service as the University of Wyoming’s 28th president July 1, 2020. The distinguished scholar has led academic, research and innovation programs at multiple universities. Before coming to UW, Seidel was the vice president for economic development and innovation for the University of Illinois System, building and supporting programs that engage university, public and private partners -- and strengthening the links among higher education, research and business to stimulate economic development across that state. His long record of leadership experience includes more than three years as director of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he was among the original co-principal investigators for Blue Waters, a federally funded project that brought one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers to Urbana-Champaign. Seidel spearheaded the creation of the Discovery Partners Institute and the Illinois Innovation Network, for which $500 million was appropriated by the State of Illinois. He also oversaw the University of Illinois System’s commercialization pipeline, including the Offices of Technology Management at Urbana-Champaign and Chicago, and the early-stage technology investment firm Illinois Ventures, which has catalyzed over $1.7 billion in venture funding for companies. Previously, he was the senior vice president for research and innovation for the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology in Moscow, Russia, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. There, he was responsible for building research capacity, guiding the institute’s strategic focus on innovation and entrepreneurship, establishing international partnerships, directing the development of 21st century research facilities and programs, and overseeing quality and compliance. Before that, he directed the Office of Cyberinfrastructure and led the Directorate of Mathematical and Physical Sciences as National Science Foundation assistant director. The MPS Directorate possesses an annual budget of more than $1.4 billion. Within the Directorate, he oversaw national programs in astronomy, chemistry, materials science, mathematical sciences and physics. The Office of Cyberinfrastructure is responsible for national programs supporting advanced computing environments, software, computer networking and their application for addressing complex problems in science and engineering. He led the launch of new programs in computational and data-intensive science and engineering and the NSF-wide Cyberinfrastructure Framework for 21st Century Science and Engineering. At NSF, he also led emerging activities on data, public access to publications, and catalyzed development of interdisciplinary research programs, including the development of grand challenge programs to attack complex problems in science and engineering. Prior to joining NSF, he held senior appointments as Floating Point Systems Professor in Physics and Astronomy, and Computer Science at Louisiana State University, where he founded and directed the interdisciplinary Center for Computation and Technology, an interdisciplinary research and innovation center involving more than four dozen faculty across the entire university. He had an integral part in the $50 million Louisiana Optical Network Initiative, connecting six research universities and two medical schools across the state of Louisiana. Seidel also directed the numerical relativity group at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) in Germany. Seidel has played central roles in launching international and regional research consortiums in Europe and the U.S., including the EU Astrophysics Network and GridLab projects that collectively involved a dozen countries. Seidel is a fellow of the American Physical Society and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and has earned a number of awards, including the 2006 IEEE Sidney Fernbach Award, the Association

Dr. Edward Seidel for Computing Machinery’s 2001 Gordon Bell Prize, and the 1998 Heinz Billing Prize of the Max Planck Society for his work in research, and the 2018 Business Leadership Award of the America-Israel Chamber of Commerce for work in economic development.

Tom Burman

University of Wyoming, Director of Athletics A young Cowgirl basketball team captured a second-place finish in the Mountain West Conference for the 2016-17 season. The Cowgirls defeated then No. 15 ranked Colorado to conclude non-conference play. Wyoming proceeded to post a 22-10 overall record, and earned a Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) bid, advancing to the second round. The spring season saw Cowgirl Tennis win a school record 18 matches, and post a perfect 10-0 home record. Wyoming was undefeated (5-0) in conference duals to win the Mountain Division. The Cowgirls advanced to the semifinals of the 2017 Mountain West Championships. Cowboy golfer Ryan Wallen qualified for the 2017 NCAA Washington Regional, where he placed 38th.

Competitive Excellence

Tom Burman • • • • •

One of 13 Members on the College Football Playoff (CFP) Selection Committee Has led over $120 million in fundraising projects as A.D. at Wyoming In January 2020, Presented Citizenship Award by Wyoming We the People: the Citizen and the Constitution Longest Serving Athletics Director in the Mountain West, currently in his 15th Year as University of Wyoming A.D. UW Athletics achieved a single-year average Academic Progress Rate (APR) score of 990 for all teams combined for the most recent academic year measured. A perfect score is 1,000. Tom Burman is currently in his 15th year as Director of Athletics at the University of Wyoming. For the past 14 years that Burman has served as Athletics Director, many of the most successful and most memorable moments in Wyoming Athletics history have taken place. Since Burman was named to the position of Athletics Director on Oct. 9, 2006, he has hired some of the most accomplished head coaches in University of Wyoming history. Academically, Cowboy and Cowgirl student-athletes have achieved at exceptional levels. Fundraising and season-ticket sales have reached record levels and numerous facility projects have been completed. Burman has also scheduled many of the greatest events in Wyoming Athletics history. “I care deeply about this University, the success of UW Athletics and the well-being of our student-athletes,” Burman said upon his hiring. “We will build a program that wins championships, is a source of great pride to our alumni and generates enthusiasm across the state. The future starts now.”

Recent Successes In 2019, Cowboy Football won the 2019 NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl and posted an 8-5 record under the direction of head coach Craig Bohl. That marked the third time in four years that Wyoming earned a bowl bid and was the second consecutive bowl victory for Wyoming. Wyoming linebackers Logan Wilson and Cassh Maluia were both selected in the 2020 NFL Draft. Cowgirl Volleyball earned a postseason berth in 2019, advancing to the Second Round of the National Invitational Volleyball Championship (NIVC). The Cowgirls posted a 22-9 record, which was the fifth 20-win season in the seven full seasons Chad Callihan has served as head coach. Senior cross country runner Chris Henry won the NCAA Elite 90 Award for the second consecutive year in November 2019. That award is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals of one of the NCAA’s 90 national championships. In March of 2021, the Cowgirl Basketball team won the Mountain West Conference Tournament Championship, earning the program’s second-ever bid to the NCAA Tournament. Cowboy Wrestling qualified a program tying high of seven wrestlers for the 2021 NCAA Championships, with sophomore Stephen Buchanan earning All-America honors at 197 pounds by placing eighth. The Cowboys finished 26th in the nation as a team. In June 2021, senior discus thrower Colton Paller earned First Team All-America honors by placing seventh at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. In January of 2020, the civic education organization “Wyoming We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution” recognized Burman for his civic leadership in bringing members of the Black 14 back to the University of Wyoming campus in the fall of 2019. In the first 33 years of the organization at the state level in Wyoming, only five of these awards for significant contribution as a citizen have been presented. The 2018-19 season began with the Grand Opening of the $44 million Mick and Susie McMurry High Altitude Performance Center. Among the most memorable moments of the year were: the men’s cross country team placing 12th in the nation at the NCAA Championships; Cowgirl soccer captured a share of its first-ever, regular-season Mountain West championship; Cowboy football earned bowl eligibility for the third consecutive season; Cowgirl volleyball and Cowgirl basketball both earned postseason bids; and Cowboy wrestling qualified seven individuals for the NCAA Championships and finished 34th in the nation as a team. Individually, Paul Roberts earned All-America honors at the NCAA Cross Country Championships placing 20th, while his teammate Chris Henry became the first UW student-athlete to earn the NCAA Elite 90 Award. Cowgirl track and field athletes Jerayah Davis, Ja’la Henderson, Jordan Edmonds and Shayla Howell earned a combined seven All-America honors at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Henderson also earned All-America honors at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships. Cowboy basketball player Justin James was the 40th overall selection by the Sacramento Kings in the 2019 NBA Draft, and Marcus Epps was selected in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings. In the 2017-18 season, Wyoming football appeared in its second consecutive bowl game and recorded a dominating win in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, defeating Central Michigan, 37-14. Wyoming wrestling placed 17th at the NCAA National Championships and senior Bryce Meredith captured second place at 141 pounds. The Cowgirl Volleyball team earned a bid to the Women’s National Invitational Volleyball Championship. Women’s basketball went down to the last game of the season battling for the Mountain West Conference regular-season championship and earned a bid to the WNIT. And the Wyoming men’s swimming and diving team captured the 2018 Western Athletic Conference team championship -- the program’s first conference title in men’s swimming and diving in 50 years. Ja’la Henderson earned Second Team All-America honors at the 2018 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, placing 15th in the triple jump, and she earned Honorable Mention All-America honors in the long jump, placing 17th. Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen attracted national attention throughout the 2017 season and through the 2018 NFL Draft as he became the No. 7 overall pick by the Buffalo Bills, the highest Wyoming Cowboy draft pick in history. In a study by national research firm Joyce Julius & Associates, the media exposure generated by Wyoming Football in 2017-18 was estimated at $159 million. The 2016-17 year began when Wyoming earned the right to host the 2016 Mountain West Football Championship Game by winning the Mountain Division and being the highest ranked team in the conference to end the regular season. The Cowboys defeated two Top 25 teams along the way, were named the National Team of the Week by the Football Writers Association of America for one of those wins and received votes themselves in the 2016 college football polls. The Pokes went on to post an 8-6 record and earn a bid to the 2016 San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl. In the winter, Cowboy wrestling tied for 21st at the 2017 NCAA Championships, and Wyoming junior Bryce Meredith of Cheyenne placed fourth at 141 pounds and earned All-America honors for the second consecutive season.

• Burman changed the course of Wyoming football in December 2013 when he hired Craig Bohl as head coach. Bohl had coached North Dakota State to three consecutive FCS National Championships in 2011, ‘12 and ‘13, was named National Coach of the Year in 2012 and ‘13 and was part of two FBS National Championship teams as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Nebraska, in 1995 and ‘97. • The Cowboys have made five bowl appearances during Burman’s tenure as athletics director. Wyoming won the 2009 New Mexico Bowl, earned a bid to the 2011 Gildan New Mexico Bowl, played in the 2016 San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, won the 2017 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl and won the 2019 NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl. • In the spring of 2011, Burman hired Larry Shyatt away from his position as associate head coach at the University of Florida to return to Laramie and take over as head coach of Cowboy Basketball. Shyatt had been part of two National Championships with the Gators in 2006 and ‘07. Burman’s hiring of Shyatt received numerous positive reviews, including an “A” rating from ESPN.com. Of the 19 coaching hires that ESPN.com rated, Wyoming received one of only five “A” ratings. • The Cowboy Basketball team reached the Top 25 of the USA Today Coaches’ Poll during the 2012-13 season and captured the 2015 Mountain West Basketball Tournament Championship, earning an automatic bid to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. • Cowgirl Basketball achieved a great deal of success under the direction of former head coach Joe Legerski. Wyoming won the Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) National Championship in the 2006-07 season, defeating Wisconsin, 72-56, in the championship game before a sold-out crowd in Laramie. In 2007-08, the Cowgirls earned the program’s first-ever NCAA Tournament berth. • Head wrestling coach Mark Branch was hired by Burman prior to the 2008-09 season. Branch was part of four NCAA Championships as associate head coach at his alma mater, Oklahoma State, and won two individual NCAA titles as a competitor at OSU in 1994 and ‘97. • Wyoming wrestling joined the Big 12 Conference, beginning in the 2015-16 season. • Current track and field coach Bryan Berryhill is a fifth UW head coach who has achieved a national title and was hired by Burman. Berryhill captured individual NCAA national championships in the indoor 1-mile run and outdoor 1,500-meter run in 2001 at Colorado State.

Academic Success • Under Burman’s leadership, University of Wyoming teams have achieved unprecedented academic success, reaching historic levels of excellence in Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores, Academic All-Conference honorees, team grade-point averages and graduation rates. • In the 2019-20 academic year, Wyoming led all 12 Mountain West schools in Academic All-Conference honors in the fall of 2019, with 74 student-athletes earning that recognition. • Add to that 91 winter and spring student-athletes who earned Academic All-Conference honors and a total of 165 UW student-athletes achieved that prestigious honor for the 2019-20 academic year. • University of Wyoming Athletics achieved a single-year average Academic Progress Rate (APR) score of 990 for all of its teams combined. A perfect score is 1,000. In addition to the high single-year APR scores, nine Cowboy and Cowgirl teams recorded all-time high multiyear APR scores. • For the second consecutive year in 2019, Wyoming cross country student-athlete Christopher Henry earned the NCAA Elite 90 Award at the NCAA Cross Country National Championship. That award goes to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals of one of the NCAA’s 90 national championships. • The combined student-athlete cumulative grade-point average for all University of Wyoming sports tied an alltime high in the 2017-2018 academic year. That cumulative gpa was 3.13 and marked the second consecutive year student-athletes achieved that mark since the cumulative gpa began being tracked in 2002.

Revenue Generation/Facilities • In November of 2017, the Cowboy Joe Club, the fundraising organization for the University of Wyoming Athletics Department, announced that it had reached the 5,000-member plateau, making it the largest annual athletics scholarship fund membership in the Mountain West Conference. • Wyoming Athletics shattered its annual fundraising record in the 2015-16 fiscal year as $20.4 million in pledges and gifts were made to UW Athletics. That broke the previous record of $12.8 million in pledges and gifts to UW Athletics that was also set during Burman’s tenure as A.D. in the 2013-14 fiscal year. • Cowboy Joe Club annual revenue grew from $2.1 million in 2006 to over $6 million as of the end of the 2017-18 fiscal year. • In 2011, season-ticket sales for Wyoming Football surpassed the 10,000 season-ticket mark for the first time in school history. That 10,000 season-ticket milestone was reached for only the second time in 2017. • Burman has spearheaded over $120 million in facilities projects during his time as athletics director, including: construction of a new $11 million Indoor Practice Facility (Fall 2007); construction of the $22 million Wildcatter Stadium Club & Suites addition to War Memorial Stadium (Fall 2010); extensive renovations to the east side of War Memorial Stadium; significant upgrades to the UniWyo Sports Complex for volleyball and wrestling; completion of a new $3 million Indoor Tennis Facility (Spring 2011); a new $1.2 million golf practice facility (Summer 2014); and Phase I and II of a $30 million renovation to the Arena-Auditorium that was completed in the fall of 2017. • The new Mick and Susie McMurry High Altitude Performance Center was completed in the summer of 2018 and will provide all UW student-athletes with a world-class training facility. The $44 million facility was funded by $24 million in private donations and $20 million in matching funds from the state of Wyoming that were allocated with the support from the Wyoming State Legislature and Gov. Matt Mead. Before becoming A.D. at Wyoming, Burman had previously served as an Associate Athletics Director at UW from 1995-2000. His first position at his alma mater was as Associate Athletics Director for Development, serving as Executive Director of the Cowboy Joe Club from 1995-97. From 1997-2000, Burman was Wyoming’s Associate Athletics Director for External Affairs. During that time period, he was instrumental in raising funds for the $9.4 million Rochelle Athletics Center. He served as Athletics Director at Portland State University from Sept. 2000 through March 2006. Burman returned to UW in March 2006 as Associate Vice President for Institutional Advancement with the UW Foundation, before being selected by President Tom Buchanan as the eighth athletics director in UW history in October 2006. Burman began his intercollegiate athletics career as Director of Marketing and Promotions (1993-95) at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho. Before entering a career in college athletics, he worked as a project manager for the sports management company DeWilber & Associates in McLean, Va., from 1990-92. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Wyoming in 1988 and an M.B.A. from Robert Morris University in Coraopolis, Pa., in 1991. Burman is 55 years old, born Jan. 4, 1966.
