Welcome to Wyoming Football: Terron Kellman
LARAMIE -- Wyoming has welcomed nearly 50 new faces this offseason.
Transfer portal era, am I right?
Jay Sawvel knew a rebuild on defense was in order after losing both starting linebackers and safeties, along with leaders like Jordan Bertagnole and DeVonne Harris. The departures of Wrook Brown, Sabastian Harsh and Keany Parks only magnified things.
The second-year head coach got busy, inking a dozen transfers on that side of the ball on February's traditional signing day and adding three more since the annual spring game.
On offense, the damage was limited.
Yes, running back Harrison Waylee is now at Virginia. Young wideout Justin Stevenson is a Utah Ute now, too. But if you ask Sawvel, he kept the players he wanted on offense, beginning with quarterback Kaden Anderson.
Three of the Cowboys' top linemen -- Jack Walsh, Caden Barnett and Wes King -- are also back. So is tight end John Michael Gyllenborg, wide receivers Chris Durr Jr. and Jaylen Sargent, along with leading rusher Sam Scott.
So, without further ado, let's spent the summer meeting the new players that litter this 2025 roster:
NAME | Terron Kellman
YEAR | Junior
HT/WT | 5' 8", 210
HOMETOWN | Clinton, Md.
POSITION | Running back
JERSEY NUMBER | 5
PREVIOUS SCHOOL | Charlotte
YEARS OF ELIGIBILITY | Two
NOTABLE | During his two seasons at Charlotte, mainly serving as a back-up, Terron Kellman appeared in 17 games, rushing for 570 yards on 130 attempts. The junior amassed 76 yards on the ground in the '24 season opener against James Madison. He did that damage on just nine carries. That's an average of 8.4 yards per tote.
QUOTABLE | "I feel as though it's more protection, more armor. I mean, playing the sport that we play is physical, especially at running back. You take a lot of blows, a lot of hits. I've been feeling a huge difference this spring. I've just been able to take more hits, been able to deliver more power to the defenders. I feel great ... My first two years of playing, I was more fine, more speed, but at times, I could bring power when needed. But just adding the power side to my game, I feel more complete because I feel like I can do it all," -- Running back Terron Kellman said of putting on additional weight this offseason
