Incoming freshman OL Johnathan Bush earns the Newcomer of the Year award for his work leading into fall camp:
Sawvel gave his new RB room a challenge going into fall camp: "Wyoming hasn’t had a draftable running back since (Xazavian) Valladay. We haven’t had a draftable running back in the past five years, since I’ve been here. We need to get to that spot."
"We get taken care of. There was just no reason to go somewhere and chase what other people might think you should be chasing. So, it really wasn’t a difficult decision for a lot of us.” -TE John Michael Gyllenborg on his decision to stay in Laramie for his final year
Jay Sawvel was asked about potentially not playing teams like Fresno State and Boise State in the future. His response:

CSU and Wyoming will meet for the 80th consecutive year this fall. The historic rivalry game has been played every year but six since the schools started playing football. The Border War has been played every season since WWII. That may change in 2026. wyomingnews.com/wyosports/univ…
Will the Border War between Wyoming and CSU be played in 2026 and 2027? "I don't know. ... (Tom Burman) wants to play the game every year, and I don't know how we make that happen next year and in '27. I don't know how that happens." -Jay Sawvel
Jay Sawvel spent the past few months basking in self reflection following his inaugural 3-9 campaign. The lessons he learned — many of which were earned the hard way — are staying with him as he prepares for fall camp. What did he learn in year 1? wyomingnews.com/wyosports/univ…
