A First in Wyoming History
Wyoming is coming off a 2021 season that saw the Pokes earn their fourth bowl bid in six seasons. That is the first time that had been accomplished in Wyoming Football history. The 2021 Cowboys also won their third consecutive bowl game to conclude last season.
A Coaching First
For the first time in school history a Wyoming coaching staff led Cowboy Football to four bowl games during its tenure. Head coach Craig Bohl and his staff became the first UW football staff to accomplish that feat last season leading the Pokes to the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl after guiding Wyoming to appearances in the 2016 Poinsettia Bowl, the 2017 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl and the 2019 Arizona Bowl.
Key Returners
There are a total of 12 starters returning for Wyoming Football in 2022. Five starters return on both offense and defense plus the Cowboys’ starting place-kicker and punter from last season’s bowl victory.
On offense the returners include: Eric Abojei (OG), Parker Christensen (FB), Joshua Cobbs (WR), Frank Crum (OT) and Treyton Welch (TE).
On defense, the five returning Cowboys who started a year ago include: Jordan Bertagnole (DT), Easton Gibbs (LB), Keonte Glinton (Nickel), Cole Godbout (NT) and Isaac White (FS), .
Wyoming also returns starting punter Ralph Fawaz and starting place-kicker John Hoyland.

Those five are: running back Titus Swen, RB (Second Team from Pro Football Focus); Cole Godbout, NT (Second Team from PFF/Honorable Mention from Mountain West Coaches and Media), Frank Crum, OT (Honorable Mention from PFF); Easton Gibbs, LB (Honorable Mention PFF); and Cameron Stone, KR (Honorable Mention PFF).
