More 'Pokes sign as free agents
Devin Moore opened the flood gates for former Wyoming Cowboys wanting to continue their football careers.
Moore signed with the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night. On Monday, three more former 'Pokes signed with NFL teams and another was invited for a tryout.
Signing on Monday were Kyle Howard, an offensive lineman with the 49ers, linebacker Mike Juergens, with the Carolina Panthers and running back Wynel Seldon, with the Washington Redskins.
The fifth Cowboy who was invited to a tryout was long snapper Danny Dutmer, who was invited to work out for the Cleveland Browns.
Howard was an honorable mention All-Mountain West selection this past year. He started the last 40 consecutive games of his college career for the Cowboys. Howard was a very versatile offensive lineman, starting at right guard as a senior and right tackle as a junior.
Juergens recorded 56 tackles as a senior outside linebacker and led Wyoming in sacks with 5.0. Juergens was a two-year starter for the Cowboys.
Moore ended his career as Wyoming’s career rushing leader with 2,963 career yards. He ranked 19th in the nation in rushing as a senior (108.4 yards per game), and was also an outstanding kick returner and receiver out of the backfield. He ranked No. 7 in the NCAA in all-purpose yards in 2008, averaging 167.3 yards per game. Moore earned First Team All-Mountain West Conference honors as a senior.
Seldon concluded his career No. 3 on the Wyoming career rushing list with 2,672 career rushing yards. Seldon was a physical runner and an excellent receiver.
Dutmer was Wyoming’s long snapper from the very first game of his true freshman season, and he started as the Cowboys’ long snapper for four seasons.
Cowboys currently on NFL rosters include wide receiver Malcom Floyd (San Diego Chargers), defensive back Derrick Martin (Baltimore Ravens), defensive back John Wendling (Buffalo Bills), offensive lineman Adam Goldberg (St. Louis Rams), defensive end Corey Mace (Buffalo Bills) and linebacker Patrick Chukwurah (Tampa Bay Bucs)
