“Guys that are in (the portal) from here, I mean, we wish them well, in that regard,” Wyoming’s rookie head coach Jay Sawvel said on Tuesday.
Will the Cowboys coaching staff be doing some shopping over these next two weeks?
“No,” he said bluntly. “We don’t have a lot of (open scholarships) right now. We had a punter in on a visit this past weekend. It’s a very good possibility that that’s a direction we go. That’s about as much as what I can say right now about it.”
That kicker is Jack Culbreath from the Virginia Military Institute, who was seen on the sidelines inside War Memorial Stadium during last Saturday’s open scrimmage.
The 6-foot-4, 235-pound Charlottesville, Va., product is a two-time All-American and three times claimed First Team All-SoCon honors. The graduate transfer was named the FCS National Special Teams Player of the Week in late September after placing 5-of-9 punts inside the 20-yard line, including a long of 60 in a 17-14 victory over Wofford.
Freshman Keelan Anderson from Cheyenne, along with Erik Sandvik, a redshirt freshman from Steamboat Spring, Colo., have been receiving all the punting reps in spring camp.
Wyoming has now lost eight players to the transfer portal since the end of the 2023 campaign. Three of those — cornerback Kolbey Taylor (Vanderbilt) and linebackers Brady Hultman (Missouri) and Cayden Hawkins (Louisiana Tech) — have all found landing spots. Running back DQ James and wide receiver Chase Locke have not.
None of these five were starters at season’s end and Hultman and Locke never played a down at Wyoming.
May, a former four-star recruit who began his collegiate career at the University of Iowa, was ruled ineligible during his lone season in Laramie after transferring in from Coffeyville Community College (Kan.). The sophomore was named the Oklahoma Class 2A Player of the Year at Jones High School.
Jacklich was a three-star prospect in the 2023 recruiting class. He was the third-leading rusher in California during his senior season, rolling up 2,278 yards on the ground to go along with 32 touchdowns. The 6-foot-3, 213-pound Modesto native was named the NorCal Offensive Player of the Year.
Neither May nor Jacklich saw the field in Laramie. Both have all four years of eligibility remaining.
Dixon, a 5-foot-11, 182-pound defensive back out of Texas, appeared in just three games last fall, recording one tackle in the Cowboys’ 31-10 loss at third-ranked Texas. The former three-star recruit received interest from Mountain West foes Air Force, New Mexico and Utah State out of McKinney High School. He has three seasons of eligibility remaining.
Wyoming’s annual spring game will take place Saturday, April 27 at East High School in Cheyenne. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m. Mountain Time.

University of Wyoming’s Top 50 Football Players
The rules are simple: What was the player’s impact while in Laramie? That means NFL stats, draft status or any other accolade earned outside of UW is irrelevant when it comes to this list.
This isn’t a one-man job. This task called for a panel of experts. Joining 7220’s Cody Tucker are Robert Gagliardi, Jared Newland, Ryan Thorburn, and Kevin McKinney.
We all compiled our own list of 50 and let computer averages do the work. Think BCS — only we hope this catalog is fairer.

WYOMING — Governor Mark Gordon hosted an impromptu panel discussion earlier this week with state veterinarians and the Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) to initiate communication efforts relating to the New World screwworm.
A statement from Gordon’s office says that there are no reported outbreaks of the flesh-eating New World screwworm in the U.S. outside of previously confirmed cases in Texas and New Mexico. Gordon called the session to increase lines of communication about the screwworm ahead of Wyoming’s peak summer travel, backcountry and rodeo season. Included in the panel were State Veterinarian Dr. Hallie Hasel, State Wildlife Veterinarian Dr. Samantha Allen, and WDH Public Health Veterinarian Dr. Emily Curren.
“There are no reported cases in Wyoming; however, Texas and New Mexico are tracking instances, so it is important to keep all citizens informed — including pet owners, campers, rodeo athletes, and sportsmen, in addition to our ag, ranching and wildlife communities.” Gordon said in the statement. “I’m satisfied with the extensive outreach regarding NWS that has been ongoing to our ag, livestock, and wildlife professionals.”
Gordon and the panelists fielded questions and heard commentary from various professionals, including Wyoming Department of Agriculture Director Doug Miyamoto, Director of Wyoming Game and Fish Department Angi Bruce, and Wyoming Livestock Board Director Steven True.
New World screwworm is a deadly, flesh-eating parasite that was previously eradicated in the United States and hasn’t been seen in Texas since 1966. An outbreak of the insects in Panama spurred a state of emergency in 2023, and a case of the screwworm was confirmed in southern Mexico in 2024. The female flies lay their eggs in open wounds of mammals, and the livestock industry is fearful of potential impacts on cattle and beef production.
Below are the key takeaways from the discussion, per Gordon’s statement.
- There are no reported outbreaks of New World screwworm in Wyoming.
- New World screwworms feed on and lay eggs in open wounds of warm-blooded animals, including humans.
- Transmission to humans is very rare.
- New World screwworm is not a food safety issue.
- Livestock and domesticated animals should be checked regularly — daily if possible.
- Contact a veterinarian or medical doctor if open wounds are painful and persistent.
- Keeping fly populations under control at rodeo events protects animals and people.
- Protocols for safe animal transport are currently in place in Wyoming.
- Wildlife and game populations are being monitored for early indicators of fly strikes.
JACKSON, Wyo. – Jackson Hole Public Art (JHPA) is proud to announce the
public installation of 250 Portraits, a community art project featuring self-portraits created and submitted by Wyoming residents from across the state. Launched in honor of the nation’s 250th anniversary, the project invited Wyomingites of all ages and backgrounds to submit portraits of themselves or other Wyoming residents, resulting in a vibrant and deeply personal collection of artwork.
Portraits were submitted by artists ranging in age from 5 to over 80, representing residents from 16 of Wyoming’s 23 counties. Participants included individuals, families, school groups, and educators who worked with their students to take part. The result is a wide-ranging snapshot of the people who call Wyoming home, from young children just beginning to express themselves through art to lifelong residents reflecting on decades of experience and identity.
The portraits are now on display in five large-scale grid installations located throughout downtown Jackson. They can be found at the Center for the Arts, JH Book Trader, the Antler Inn, the alley at Pinky G’s, and the Jackson Hole Elks Lodge. The exhibition will remain on view throughout the summer, giving locals and visitors alike the opportunity to take in the full collection at their own pace.
The exhibit, 250 Portraits, was designed to highlight both individual identity and collective belonging, weaving together faces from communities large and small into a single, statewide visual portrait of Wyoming’s people. By placing the work in accessible, high-traffic locations in downtown Jackson, JHPA hopes to spark conversation among residents and visitors about what it means to be part of a community that spans such a wide and varied landscape.
A self-guided walking map is available to help visitors navigate between the five sites and experience other public art projects throughout Jackson. For more information and to access the 2026 Public Art Map, visit https://www.jhpublicart.org/art/2026map.
Pair your portrait with an audio story! Please consider adding your voice to another state-wide project celebrating the stories of everyday Wyomingites: Re-Storying the West.
