There’s a long list of reasons why the University of Wyoming went 3-9 during Jay Sawvel’s first season as head coach. Injuries brought to light a critical lack of depth for the Cowboys, specifically on the defensive side. Poor quarterback play and a tough schedule didn’t help matters much, either. But as more time separates the Cowboys from last season, it’s becoming clear one of the key components of last year’s disappointment was a lack of leadership.

Former All-Mountain West honorable mention Harrison Waylee entered the transfer portal last month, and the next running back in line, senior Sam Scott, has been absent all spring while he recovers from a knee injury suffered last fall.

Jay Sawvel’s wishlist for the spring portal: 1. RB 2. Punter 3. WR 4. DB 5. Best available They’ll be selective of who they add… “You have a big barrel of apples. All it takes is to throw one shitty apple in there, and the rest of your barrel can spoil.”
TE Evan Svoboda is dealing with a fracture in his left hand that will require a pin. He’s playing through it for the next two practices, but will miss the last week of spring ball.
