Calling Wednesday’s national signing day a quiet one in Wyoming is an understatement.
Actually, the silence is pronounced, as only a smattering of state athletes have made a commitment to play football at the college level.
Here’s the list I have so far; if you know of others who have made commitments to specific schools to continue their careers, either post it below in the comments section or e-mail me at pschmiedt@yahoo.com.
List includes both written and verbal commitments:
Colton Blankenship, Wind River, Chadron State
Noah Creel, Kelly Walsh, Wyoming (walk-on)
Taylor Doherty, Kemmerer, Wyoming (walk-on)
Pierre Etchemendy, Douglas, Chadron State
Mike Hill, Lingle, Chadron State
Luke Knapton, Laramie, Wyoming (walk-on)
Tom Manning, Kelly Walsh, South Dakota
Drew Martinez, Green River, Wyoming
Colter Rood, Green River, Carroll College
Mitch Schlager, Torrington, Chadron State
Patrick Snead, Gillette, Chadron State
