Defensive Tackle Gabriel Ikechukwu Commits to Cowboys
LARAMIE -- The defensive rebuild at Wyoming is in full swing, for the present and the future.
Jay Sawvel and Co. have already added 10 transfers this offseason on that side of the ball, including four in the trenches. That number jumps to eight when you add the rookies in the 2025 recruiting class.

The latest is Gabriel Ikechukwu, who will ink with the program Wednesday, on the NCAA's traditional signing day, according to a source familiar with the situation.
The 6-foot-3, 270-pound tackle capped his senior season at Cypress Ranch High School with 33 tackles, including 6.5 for loss, according to MaxPreps.com. He also tacked on 2.5 sacks.
In both of his varsity seasons, Ikechukwu was named First Team 16-6A All-District.

The Houston-Area product also received offers from Texas Wesleyan, Hardin-Simmons, Millsaps College and Texas Rio Grande Valley.
Ikechukwu will join fellow rookie Henry Rehberg (Omaha, Neb.) in the interior. The Cowboys also signed 305-pound Bucknell transfer Aneesh Vyas at the nose-guard spot. Those three will join Ben Florentine, Jayden Williams, Dante Drake, Cody Crawford and Nathan Murphy. Caleb Robinson and Lucas Samsula, who both missed the 2024 season with injury, will also return.
That room lost Jordan Bertagnole to graduation and Jaden Williams (Kentucky) to the NCAA Transfer Portal.
Wyoming is expected to add three new scholarship players on traditional signing day, along with walk-on long snapper Charlie Houston from Garland, Texas. The staff will also look to ink "3 to 4" new players when the spring portal window opens April 16.
Spring practices are set to begin March 25 in Laramie.
