Entering the spring, Jevon Bigelow was viewed as a prime candidate -- perhaps the prime candidate -- to replace Wyoming’s leading rusher of a year ago. Halfway through the allotted 15 practice sessions, Bigelow is no longer a part of the competition to step into Nico Evans’ backfield shoes.
In a press release, the Cowboys announced that Bigelow has decided to leave Craig Bohl‘s football program. Other than unspecified “personal reasons,” no trigger for the move away from the Cowboys was given.
“We wish him well in his future, and we wish his family well,” the head coach said in a portion of a statement.
As a true freshman this past season, Bigelow rushed for 292 yards and two touchdowns on 69 carries. The yardage was good for fourth on the team.
