LARAMIE, Wyo. — A pair of University of Wyoming linemen were recently named to the Mountain West Conference’s preseason All-Conference team.
Wyoming seniors Caden Barnett and Jack Walsh were named to the team. It marks back-to-back seasons that Walsh has been named to the squad.
In 2024, Barnett appeared in all 12 games and started every contest at offensive tackle for the Brown and Gold, but he will move to the interior and play guard this season. A veteran up front for the Cowboys, he has appeared in 35 games heading into his final season.
Walsh appeared and started 10 games for the Cowboys in 2024 and was a veteran upfront. He was named Second Team along the offensive line. Walsh recorded over 650 snaps during the season and did not allow a sack. He recorded over 20 pancake blocks along the offensive line. Pro Football Focus ranked him as the No. 25 guard in the nation and fourth in the MW.
Wyoming was picked to finish 10th in the preseason poll. Boise State was picked to finish first with 35 first-place followed by UNLV with four first place votes.
