Arizona adds former Wyoming freshman All-American DE Braden Siders
Arizona added its third transfer in two days with a commitment from Wyoming edge rusher Braden Siders on Wednesday. Siders was named a freshman All-American by The College Football News in 2022. An injury limited Siders to eight games during the 2024 season.
Siders had 91 tackles, 23.5 tackles for loss, 14 sacks and three passes defended in the last three seasons after not playing any snaps during his first two years with Wyoming. The 2022 season when he earned recognition on the freshman All-American team was the best season for Siders.
Siders had 44 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, 7.0 sacks and one pass defended as Wyoming finished 7-6 and won the Arizona bowl in 2022. In the past two seasons combined, Siders had 47 tackles, 10.0 TFLs, 7.0 sacks and 2.0 passes defended. Arizona has three transfer edge rushers added to the 2025 roster.
Before Siders, Arizona added FCS transfer edge rushers Chancellor Owens from Northwestern State and Riley Wilson. Siders provides Arizona with an experienced edge rusher in a high-level Group of Five program. Siders had proven the ability to produce at a high level if he stays healthy.

Siders is the740th transfer and 64 edge rusher in the portal per the On3 rankings. The On3 Industry Rankings listed Siders as the 2,543rd prospect, 276th linebacker and 18th player in Colorado in the 2020 class out of Arvada, Ralston Valley.
Arizona has the 29th-ranked transfer class per the 247Sports Composite. Siders is not included in the updated 247Sports transfer portal rankings. Arizona is far from finished adding transfers. Expect several players from the College Football Semifinal losers on Thursday and Friday to enter the transfer portal over the next week.
Arizona head coach Brent Brennan faces a pivotal 2025 season. Brennan and his staff have to get the majority of the players right. Siders is a gamble based on his injury history and his production declining over the past two seasons. If Siders can return to his 2022 production, he will be one of the best 2025 transfers.
Gaining the knowledge to become an outdoorsy type of person isn’t easy. It takes time, dedication, and the desire to sometimes get out of your comfort zone. Sure, if you grew up in the outdoors, but it’s been a while since you’ve actually been out hunting, fishing, hiking, or camping, you may be a little rusty, but you have a leg up on those who haven’t.
If you’re in Wyoming, there’s a good chance that taking advantage of the incredible outdoor activities we have available has crossed your mind, but where to start is the big question. Asking others for help is one way, but there’s sometimes an element of intimidation or embarrassment involved.
If you’re a woman looking for that help and want to avoid the intimidation, you should really check out the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s Becoming an Outdoor Woman (BOW) workshops this summer. It’s held at the Whiskey Mountain Conservation Camp near Dubois, and everything you need to learn about the outdoors is provided, including food and lodging.
The registration deadline is March 31, meaning you have just a couple of weeks to apply for one or all of the offered workshops.
There are multiple options available depending on your level of outdoor knowledge.
Basic BOW Workshop: Introductory level camp teaching outdoor survival, basic fly fishing, backpacking, how to shoot, outdoor photography, and more. There will be two of these workshops, June 5-7 and August 7-9. $150
Fly Fishing Beyond BOW Workshop: The focus here is on fly fishing. Learn the basics and then put them to use. This workshop runs July 30 – Aug 2. $150
Backpacking Beyond BOW: This workshop is all about backpacking, hiking, cooking on the trail, adjusting to the trail, and preparing for the trip. You’ll learn how to properly pack your bag, set up camp, and then head out on an overnight trip. July 30 – Aug 2. $150
Become a BOW Instructor: Here’s where you put your years of experience to work by sharing your skills and knowledge with others, helping them learn the tricks and tips of the outdoors.
Not only will these workshops help get you started on a life in the outdoors, but you’re likely going to gain some street cred with your family when you can teach them the skills they’ll need to get out and celebrate a Wyoming lifestyle.
