Wrestling Updates
Greetings Wrestling Fans! Branch and Company continues to secure Top-25 recruiting classes, and the year 2026 seems to follow suit. Yesterday, they welcomed Dom Wilson, a US Open U17 71 Kg Greco Champion, into their ranks. He is coached by former Olympian Andy Hrovat out of Texas. Dom is set to join the Cowboys for the 2026-27 season; after consulting the Oracle (Google), 71 Kg converts to 157. He is scheduled to compete next week in Greece as a member of Team USA at the World Championship. His competition is expected to commence on July 29; I will plan to provide updates and links as they become available. The significance of this signing for the program cannot be overstated. The Northern Michigan Wildcats have a reputation...

WyoNation Round-Up: A little bit of everything
In the newest edition of the WyoNation Round-Up Brad and Chad dig into the men's basketball team with a few additions and subtractions that have happened in the last few weeks, a quick recap of the Cowboy wrestling team at the NCAA tournament, a little bit of football spring drills, and more! Check us out below, and as usual, like and subscribe to our YouTube channel for the latest updates to the Round-Up!
Be the Next Success Story!
On Thursday, our remaining wrestlers will head to Philadelphia to compete. Right now: 149 Gabe Willochel (#30 seed), 157 Jared Hill (#13 seed), 184 Eddie Neitenbach (#19 seed), 197 Joey Novak (#15 seed), HWT Sam Mitchell (#30 seed). Wyoming could get another guy in the brackets but will require a 141 to drop out and that would insert 141 Cole Brooks into the bracket at the #33 seed. I am not going to sit here and try and dissect the brackets and play the what if game on if they win what will happen next for them. You can find the brackets here 2025 Brackets if you would like to see the battles they have Thursday morning. Every year you read about a 33 seed becoming an AA (Wyatt Sheets) or a 26 seed busting brackets on their way to an...
Daniel Reynolds: National Champion
From UW Athletics VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (March 14, 2025) – Senior thrower Daniel Reynolds won Wyoming’s first national title since 2005 with a facility and meet-record throw of 82’ 3 1/2" (25.08 meters) in the weight throw to seal an undefeated season at the 2025 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championship on Friday. Reynolds’ championship meet started with a bang that would have won the title off the bat. His throw of 80’ 9” (24.61 meters) was just over an inch shy of the previous meet record and was nearly five inches more than the rest of the field. After faulting on his second toss, he followed up with a throw of 78’ 3 1/2” (23.86 meters) while the field started to catch up with two others eclipsing the 24-meter mark. While he entered...
March Matness Has Arrived
I am sad the season is coming to a close, but excited to see the full 10 members compete one more time together this weekend; depending on how they fair Saturday and Sunday we could see all 10 again in Philadelphia March 20-22. The allocations, seeds, and tentative brackets (pending weigh-ins) have been released; let’s break them down: 125 Garrett Ricks (7 allocations) – will come in unseeded, right now, he is slated to face #6 Lorenzo from OU to open up the tournament. Lorenzo defeated an injured Volk earlier in the year so expect stiff competition. Two wins gets ricks at least into the 7th place match and 3 wins qualifies him for NCAA. He has progressively been getting better after coming out of retirement mid-year. He will have...
Basketball in the Home Stretch
With the tournament a few weeks away I took some time to break down tournament scenarios. First, the elephant in the room, this has been a disappointing season for men's basketball. However, the team has shown enough this season to make me believe that there are some ways for them to make noise in Vegas this year. Before we get into any of that, though, here are the current standings and remaining games for the conference. To break it down team by team: New Mexico - They've got Air Force and UNLV at home, both of whom they beat on the road. They had a tough time with Nevada at home, so it should be an interesting road game. Still, I think the Lobos win out and take the 1 seed. Utah State - With 2 games left they've still got a shot...
Where Did the Dual Season Go?
Feels like yesterday we were entering October and the start of the wrestling season. Kudos to Coach Branch and Coach Sentes (Campbell) for another great event to kick-off the NCAA wrestling season. I am sure they are planning another special event next year the social coverage in unprecedented for two of the smaller schools; top of Devil’s Tower? Two years ago, Wyoming would send out 10 different lineups to 10 different duals and well the record would reflect a team trying to find their identity with a 1-9 record and a 10th place finish at Big 12s. Last year same issue with lineups, however, Wyoming recovered and finished .500 with a really young team. This year the lineups were again in flux due to injury and illness. Wyoming...
Wyoming Football Roster Math
As promised here is a quick written breakdown of where Wyoming stands with the football roster and the drive to get down to 105 before the first game of the season. After the December signing day, portal season and February signing day the Wyoming Cowboys stand at 120 players. That is 15 above the new mandated number and you can see the position breakdown below: Here are a few quick thoughts on how Wyoming gets to 105 or below: There are about 14 position player walk-ons who will have to seriously outperform scholarship players to earn a spot on the 105-man roster so that right there gets you to 106 but I'm sure a few will stick. It's being reported that Wyoming wants to add 3-4 transfers when the portal opens up for the spring...
Wyoming Wrestling Finding Their Moxy
Hey Wyoming Wrestling Fans! It’s been a minute since I wrote about our Cowboys, but they have won four of their last five duals with some of the boys on some real winning streaks. I was concerned that more duals on the road were going to be tough and ruin confidence, however, I was proven wrong. Wyoming won a tough dual and a come from behind dual against Oregon State. They got down 7-0 quick but Cole Brooks set the tone and wrestled the best I have seen him wrestle in some time this season. Gabe followed up with a Gabe match of going down 9-2 but winning 11-10. The OSU wrestler he defeated recently MD’d Jordan Abas from Stanford. Eddie and Joey would put the dual out of reach with a MD and Fall. OSU was chippy and sounded like their...
