Wyoming’s rangy, pro-ready linebacker who blew up in 2024
In the 2024 season, Connor Shay became a true tone-setter for Wyoming, starting all 12 games at weak-side linebacker and piling up 76 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, and an interception. He’s the kind of defender coaches love: productive, disciplined, and versatile enough to impact both run support and coverage, with pro-day measurables that hint at real athletic upside. He finished his Wyoming career with 97 tackles across 49 games, and his quick rise from special-teams player to key starter says plenty about his work ethic and football IQ.
