Turns out John Hoyland's All-America season earned him more than just postseason accolades. Wyoming's freshman kicker has been placed on scholarship, UW coach Craig Bohl announced Tuesday night following the Cowboys' first spring practice. Hoyland joined the Cowboys' program as a walk-on last year after playing his prep ball at Legacy High in Bloomfield, Colorado. "John did a great job for us, and he's been placed on scholarship," Bohl said in a statement. Join us each week for the Pokescast, a podcast about University of Wyoming athletics brought to you by the Star-Tribune. Hoyland looked like anything but a non-scholarship player in his inaugural season with the Cowboys after being thrust into the starting role at placekicker following an injury to Luke Glassock, who entered the Cowboys' pandemic-shortened season at the top of the depth chart there. Hoyland went 4-for-4 on field goals in his first collegiate game against Nevada, including a career-long 42-yarder that sent the game to overtime. That performance helped the 5-foot-10, 184-pounder go from a temporary fill-in to the heir apparent to Cooper Rothe, who finished his UW career in 2019 as the program's all-time leading scorer. - Casper Star-Tribune

04/06/21 - Chad Muma, Sr/2022, Wyoming, 6-3, 237 (DS#3 ILB) + More +

After spending the 2019 season as the Cowboys' primary backup at the position, Chad Muma stepped in for Wilson and kept the production going in the middle of UW's defense. The junior led the team with 72 tackles - 28 more than the second-leading tackler, safety Esaias Gandy - and three sacks during a season that was limited to just six games because of the coronavirus pandemic. That averaged out to 11.8 stops per game, which was good for third nationally.

Muma ended the season earning first-team all-Mountain West honors and enters his second year as the Cowboys' starting middle linebacker and one of the unquestioned leaders of the defense after also being voted a team captain last season. Lining up beside him again this spring will be outside linebacker Charles Hicks, who emerged from relative obscurity in his first season as a starter to finish with 27 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks and an interception. - Casper Star Tribune

01/19/21 - John Hoyland, rSr/2025, Wyoming, 5-10, 201 (DS#14 K) + More +

John Hoyland began his freshman season at Wyoming as a temporary fill-in. By the time it was over, he'd become a permanent replacement. Now the Cowboys' placekicker is an All-American. Hoyland on Monday was named a freshman All-American by the Football Writers Association of America. The Broomfield, Colorado, native was among 32 players and one of just 17 true freshmen to earn the nod. A walk-on from Legacy High School, Hoyland was a virtual afterthought leading up to the season when it came to the idea of replacing former Lou Groza Award finalist Cooper Rothe, who ended his UW career as the program's all-time leading scorer. Hoyland was buried on the depth chart behind Cornell graduate transfer Nick Null and redshirt freshman Luke Glassock. - Casper Srar-Tribune

12/30/20 - Dontae Crow, rSr/2022, Wyoming, 5-09, 178 (DS#999 WR) + More +

University of Wyoming redshirt senior wide receiver Dontae Crow has entered his name into the transfer portal, Crow told WyoSports Monday night. Crow - who starred at Sheridan High and was born in Laramie - has one year of eligibility remaining. The NCAA decided before the 2020 season that players would not lose a year of eligibility, regardless of how many games were played, due to uncertainty amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The 5-foot-9, 178 pound Crow started all six games for UW in 2020 and finished fourth on the team in receptions, catching seven passes for 78 yards. He finishes his Cowboys career with 13 catches. - Wyoming Tribune Eagle

Lee Williams had three short touchdown runs, Trey Smith rushed for a career-high 164 yards with a touchdown and Wyoming rolled up 399 yards on the ground to breeze past winless UNLV 45-14 on Friday night. Xazavian Valladay kicked off the Cowboys rushing attack on the second play of the game, bursting through a gap up the middle and sprinting 78 yards untouched to score. Valladay finished with 94 yards rushing. Smith broke off the biggest game of his five-season career at Wyoming, surpassing 100 yards early in the third quarter and squeezing past a would-be tackler to score on a 28-yard run. Quarterbacks Max Gillam and Doug Brumfield scored keepers for UNLV, late in each half.

UNLV was held to 290 yards of offense with six punts, an interception and a fumble. The turnovers resulted in 14 Wyoming points. Junior linebacker Chad Muma had three sacks for the Cowboys. Williams passed for 99 yards and rushed for another 43 with three TDs. It was a rare blowout in this series as Wyoming and UNLV have battled through four overtime contests in Las Vegas, including a 69-66 three-OT slugfest in 2016 that remains the highest scoring game in the Mountain West Conference (No. 5 in FBS). - AP College Football

Andrew Peasley passed for 239 yards and three touchdowns, and rushed for 118 yards and another score, and Utah State used four third-quarter touchdowns to beat New Mexico 41-27 on Thursday night in a battle of winless teams. Utah State had just two passing touchdowns - and 45 combined points - through its first four games. Utah State trailed 13-6 at the break until Peasley led the Aggies on three touchdown-scoring drives in the first six-plus minutes of the third quarter for a 27-13 lead. He had touchdown throws of 35, 26 and 25 yards. Kina Maile, who blocked a punt earlier in the game, scored on a fumble return to make it 28-13 and Peasley added a 62-yard scrambling touchdown late in the fourth. Justin McGriff, Savon Scarver and Carson Terrell each had receiving touchdowns for Utah State (1-4, 1-4 Mountain West). Trae Hall passed for 63 yards and rushed for 70 for New Mexico (0-5, 0-5), which has lost 14 straight games. - AP College Football

11/21/20 - Garrett Crall, rSr/2022, Wyoming, 6-4, 239 (DS#47 DE) + More +

Garrett Crall may have to wait at least one more week before making his season debut. The Cowboys' senior defensive end is still working his way back from offseason foot surgery and isn't likely to play against Utah State, Bohl said. Crall, a two-year starter, is the Cowboys' most experienced defensive lineman with 126 career tackles and 11.5 sacks. Crall had been isolated through contact tracing after making the trip with UW to Colorado State last week, but Bohl on Monday only mentioned Crall's injury as the reason he will likely miss his fourth straight game. - Casper Star-Tribune
