A Revamped Wyoming Cowboys Squad
Wyoming Cowboys football has aggressively reshaped its squad this offseason, welcoming nearly 50 new players while keeping core veterans such as Samuel Harris, Dante Drake and Jayden Williams.
The departure of several top receivers and cornerbacks opened space for fresh talent, including quarterback Tyler Hughes and wide receiver Jordan Styles, a freshman from The Woodlands, Texas, who arrives with a high‑school record of 110 catches for almost 1,700 yards and 17 touchdowns, plus 160 rushing yards.
Head coach Jay Sawvel has highlighted the physicality and skill set of the new recruits, noting that players like Jordan Styles bring a blend of size and speed that matches the team’s new defensive scheme.
Among the influx of newcomers are Jake Wilson, Deion DeBlanc, Desman Hearns, Rex Johnsen, Braylon Jenkins, Chris Durr Jr., Tyrese Boss, Markie Grant, Mason Drube, Markell Holman, Chandler Donaway, Jason Maciejcak, Jeremiah Katt, Brent Vigen, Jarell Gary, and a host of other prospects eager to contribute.
The revamped roster will be tested early, with the Cowboys slated to open the season against non‑conference opponents such as Montana State University before heading into a schedule that includes matches in Arizona and Utah, a campaign overseen by the University of Wyoming.
