LARAMIE — The University of Wyoming football team announced 19 additional signees on Wednesday, the first day of the 2025 regular signing period. The group includes 15 transfer players and four high school recruits, bringing the Cowboys’ total recruiting class to 40 players.

Head coach Jay Sawvel emphasized the importance of balancing high school recruits with transfers to address depth concerns.

“We felt that we wanted to still have a solid base of high school players in the program, and we have that with the 24 prep signees,” Sawvel said. “But we also needed to balance some depth issues in the class, and we were able to get 16 transfer portal and junior college players. It provides us with a better balance amongst classes due to attrition from a couple seasons ago.”
