Tim Harkins Football 5/31/2020 10:27:00 PM
The final category for this year's Wyoming Greats Fan Poll is Quarterbacks.  We want Wyoming fans to voice their opinions on the greatest Cowboy Quarterbacks of all-time.  Wyoming fans have this week to vote for their favorite Poke QBs through the Wyoming Greats Fan Poll.  It won't be easy to choose between a group of Cowboys who led Wyoming to conference championships, bowl championships and some of the most memorable victories in Wyoming Football history.
 
Each week this spring we featured a different position group which included a 16-player bracket, with voting available for a four-player group each day throughout the week until a Cowboy was named as the winner of the Wyoming Greats Fan Poll at week's end.  To cast your vote go to the Wyoming Football's Official Twitter account @wyo_football.  Voting updates will be provided during the week @wyo_football.  At the end of each week, we'll announce on social media the former Cowboy great receiving the most fan votes and we'll have each week's voting summary at GoWyo.com/WyoGreats
 
We hope you enjoy looking back at the greatest Pokes.  Here are the candidates for Wyoming's Greatest Quarterbacks in history.  The Quarterbacks' Bracket will launch Monday, June 1, 2020.
