LARAMIE, Wyo.  (August 19, 2026) – The Wyoming Cowboys are entering the third week of fall camp and practice under steady rain inside War Memorial Stadium on Tuesday. The Pokes practiced for the 11^th time this fall, as the team is near the halfway point of camp prior to the season opener at Colorado State on September 5.
 
What Head Coach Jay Sawvel Had to Say
"We had a good day and needed to get back out and get after it. It's a big week for everyone in our program because number one, as a football team, we have to improve a lot. Then number two, we have a number of players that this is a big week for, who's playing, how much will they play. For our calendar right now, today, we're in a game week structure this week. Today was a hard day. Tomorrow will be a hard day. Thursday we'll practice, but it'll be a little bit scaled back. Friday will kind of just be meetings and walkthrough and Saturday, we're going to scrimmage. "
 
The Cowboys have great depth on the interior of the defensive line. Wyoming welcomes back Jayden Williams in the middle, as he was a preseason All-MW selection by numerous publications. He had 24 tackles last season along with three tackles for loss.
 
He is joined by a pair of talented players returning from injury in Dante Drake and Caleb Robinson.
 
Wyoming native Tegen Seeds had a strong season last year and will add to the depth along with transfer Ja'Quan Redfern along with another Wyoming native in Alex Haswell. Another player with a year of experience in the program is Henry Rehberg, as he redshirted a season ago.
 
Wyoming added a trio of others in the off season, which include MacGregor Byers along with Xavier Jackson and Mohanad Nahhas.
