Wyoming's 2027 Recruiting Class Building Early Momentum as Jay Sawvel Expands Cowboys' Reach!

Commits. That’s all. No complaints about the pursuit of commitments.

Joe Tiller invited me to his office on a sunny August afternoon when I stopped to pick up the game schedule poster and we talked recruiting. He said he wasn’t going to settle for long term developmental players. He was expecting true or redshirt freshman to be able to play on special teams effectively and be starter quality by the redshirt sophomore year. He said if you were a redshirt junior and not dependable to play on special teams you were a waste of his time. He admitted he had to use his resources wisely because everyone will extend offers to the better players with rarely any of those considering a program that could only afford to make a phone call and send a letter. His advantage was if he was able to sign a decent player he didn’t have to re-recruit them as is the case nowadays.

Seen it all before. The clock ticks and things change. It would be really nice if the program made a major move in the winning direction this season. Not just 5 wins or even the Burman 6 win reward level. Need 4 or more wins in conference play and no less than 3 wins in OOC which means at least a 7-5 (4-4) record to get me to accept another season of the 2 remaining years of guaranteed contract after this season.

Unfortunately every season has the potential to be a roster changer and as Joe Glenn pointed out - birthdays can have their benefits and sustaining the quality of the roster will define the future.

Hope the program is successful in enhancing the roster this year and Wyoming fans can enjoy seeing some success which can help with recruiting. For now until potential players sign and we see the results that is when the excitement of their commitment grows. A lot happens between now and December 4, 2026 and the 2027 season. It starts this fall with a coach who is 7-17 (4-11) trying to revamp the offense which is amongst the weakest in all of D1 FBS football.
