In sports, Wyoming has a new punter who may be the missing piece the Cowboys have lacked.
First-year head coach Jay Sawvel wasted no time going after Jack Culbreath, as 6-foot-4, 235-pound FCS all-American. Sawvel started in December, chasing what he describes as a “solid punter.”
Culbreath came to Laramie this summer for workouts.
The Virginia-native averaged 43.6 yards per punt with 17 attempts placed inside the opponents’ 20-yard last season for VMI. His longest boot was 76 yards.
The thin mountain air in Laramie is different than in swampy Virginia.
The fifth-year senior is taking advantage of the extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA during the Corona freak-out. “I never really expected to come out here, but I love it so far, it’s awesome.”
UW will wrap up fall camp today before shifting the focus to the opener against Arizona State on Aug. 31 in Tempe.
