(Laramie, WY) – “Nobody remembers us when we win, but they sure do when we give up a sack,” Wyoming senior center Jack Walsh joked with us at UW Media Day Monday.

The Cowboy has plenty of opportunities to be remembered for a very long time on the football field this year however. He was added to both the Lombardi Award Preseason Watch List, which is given to college football’s best lineman (offense or defense) and the Outland Trophy Preseason Award Watch List, which goes to college football’s best interior lineman.

Walsh is moving from right guard to center this season too, a position he hasn’t played regularly since 8th grade. But Jack’s team-first attitude makes him excited to lead the guys up front. “I wanna be a source for the young guys, someone they can look to and trust to give them good advice, that’s my main goal being an older guy, whatever someone needs help with on or off the field that’s what I’m there for.”

Walsh smiled and told us last few practices have been fun, but exhausting, “It’s been very physical. Coach Sawvel wants to see us play some football, see what guys are made of. But it’s been fun. You have to do those things to get prepared for the season.”

Wyoming football kicks off August 28th at Akron. Every Pokes game can be heard on the radio in Fremont County on KOVE, 1330 AM and 107.7 FM!
