Five More Players Join Wyoming Football’s 2020 Recruiting Class [VIDEO]
Head coach Craig Bohl announced five new additions to the Wyoming Cowboys’ 2020 recruiting class on Wednesday.
This was the second National Letter of Intent (NLI) signing day for high school student-athletes to sign on to play college football. The first came back on Dec. 18, 2019.
Bohl and the Cowboys add two receivers, a tight end, one linebacker, and one cornerback to round out the 2020 class. It brings the total to 24 signees for this class.
Coach Bohl and Director of Recruiting Ian McGrew talked about the latest recruits at a press conference in the video above.
Three were rated as three-star prospects by 247Sports. All five helped their teams to deep runs in their respective playoffs last fall.
The first signee is Xavier Carter, a 6-0, 175 cornerback from Manvel, TX.
