Spring Game Next Saturday

More information on the events during the spring game will be released in the coming days.
What Head Coach Jay Sawvel Said
"We came out today with a good mindset and attitude. The effort and intent defensively on Saturday was good and our offense responded Saturday as well. What showed up was we have a lot of players on defense that can run around and hit. We feel like we have a clear line on what we need to improve at. We are going to play offense vs. Defense on Saturday and will be a simple scoring system of the defense leading 21-0.”
Cowboy Defensive Tackles
Wyoming returns a talented group of players in the interior of the defensive line this season. The group has been banged up this spring, but returners Jayden Williams along with Tegen Seeds have gotten a ton of reps this spring. They will be joined by Dante Drake and Caleb Robinson, who missed last season with injuries. Cody Crawford, a Natrona County graduate got injured early in the spring and Alex Haswell missed time last season with an injury.
Williams recorded 24 tackles a season ago. Seeds added a tackle and an interception. Drake recorded eight tackles in 2024 and was poised for a breakup season. Robinson has 43 career tackles for the Brown and Gold. Henry Rehberg redshirted last season but will look to add to the depth of the room.
The group will be joined by newcomers in Ja’Quan Redfern and Tanielu Maafala-Barbasa. Redfern recorded 10 tackles last season at Murray State and added a sack and a tackle for loss.
