A Fresh Start: Wyoming Players in the Transfer Portal

Let's face it: the 105-roster mandate for 2025 will leave Wyoming with too many players when factoring in the planned 30 signees (approximately) that head coach Jay Sawvel wants to add by next year. There are going to be players who are looking to move on to greener pastures, and there are some who might be told they won't have a scholarship next year. Below is a comprehensive list of Pokes who have entered their name into the transfer portal.
