Laramie, Wyo. (Feb. 2, 2022) -- Wyoming Football announces four new commitments to its 2022 recruiting class on Wednesday, including one of the nation's top offensive line recruits in Deshawn Woods of Omaha Central High School in Omaha, Neb. Joining Woods in the group of new Cowboys announced on Wednesday were: offensive linemen Luke Sandy of Legend High School and Elizabeth, Colo.; safety TJ Urban of Omaha, Neb., who is transferring to Wyoming from Air Force Academy Prep; and long snapper Carson York of Rock Hill High School and McKinney, Texas. The regular signing period for NCAA Division I football teams began on Wednesday, Feb. 2 and will run through Friday, April 1.
Woods is rated as a four-star recruit by both 247 Sports and Rivals. He is the No. 1 ranked recruit in the state of Nebraska by Rivals and the No. 2 ranked recruit in the state by 247 Sports. 247 Sports also ranks Woods as the No. 12 ranked inside offensive lineman in the nation, and Rivals ranks him as the No. 14 best offensive guard in the nation. He is projected to play offensive tackle for the Cowboys.
Wyoming's four new signees join the Cowboys' 15 high school student-athletes who signed with the Pokes during the early signing period in December 2021 and five transfers who were announced in January 2022 to bring the total of new Cowboys to 24.
"I believe we met many of our needs," said Bohl. "We wanted to continue to strengthen our offensive line, and we identified a couple guys we're excited about there. Deshawn Woods is a unique player who we're really pleased to have in our program. Luke Sandy is another young man who is going to add value to our offensive line group. Certainly a deep snapper was high on our list, so we're excited about Carson (York) and the ability he will bring to that position, and TJ Urban is a young man who we tried to recruit out of high school and is on our campus now. We're well pleased with where this class is at."
