UW This Season: After a breakout season in 2011, Tyler Strong hopes to continue to become one of the most consistent players on the Cowboy offense. In just his first year of playing offensive line, he earned All-MW honors and returns for another season at the position.

2011: Strong earned Honorable Mention All-Mountain West honors as a sophomore. He started the last 11 games at left guard for the Cowboys in 2011. After earning playing time on the defensive line as a true freshman in 2010, Strong made the move to the offensive line in the spring of 2011. For the season he was part of an offensive line that allowed only 12 quarterback sacks in 13 games, ranking the Cowboys No. 11 in the nation. He also helped the Cowboy offense generate 181.6 yards rushing per game to rank No. 33 in the nation, and 206.8 yards passing per game to rank No. 4 in the Mountain West Conference.

2010: Strong had an immediate impact on the program, as he earned time as a backup defensive tackle in his first season with the Cowboys. He played in nine games, making six tackles. He notched two tackles for loss for 12 yards and one sack for 11 yards. Strong also forced one fumble.

High School: Strong was named First Team All-State Class 4A by The Denver Post his senior season at Niwot High School. His senior year, he made 90 tackles, including five sacks, and intercepted two passes as a linebacker. He also played some fullback on offense. His junior season, Strong was credited with 120 tackles and he intercepted two passes. He earned All-Conference and All-Area honors both his junior and senior seasons from the Longmont Times-Call and the Boulder Daily Camera. He was a four-year letterman in football at Niwot High School, and was voted a team captain as a senior. Strong joins his former high school teammate Jeff Roueche on the Wyoming roster. He played for head coach Ron Tesone.

Personal: Born Jan. 13, 1992, he is the son of Diane and Ron Strong. He was also recruited by Colorado, Colorado State and Nebraska. He is majoring in animal and veterinary science.
