In Rishard Matthews and Brandon Wimberly, Nevada currently has a pair of all-WAC wide receivers from Southern California. They also have a number of talented defensive backs, like Thad Brown and Khalid Wooten, who hail from the Los Angeles area.  One 2012 prospect who could continue either tradition is Junipero Serra athlete Jonavaughn Williams, an All-Trinity [...]

Nevada always recruits Southern California’s Inland Empire really hard, bringing in standout offense and defensive linemen almost every year.  Current Wolf Pack starters like Chris Barker and Brett Roy were recently named preseason All-WAC selections by one publication.  Fans of the Silver and Blue can expect the same in the Class of 2012, with Temecula [...]

For the 2nd time in 4 years, Nevada football lost one of it’s top offensive coordinators to a BCS program when Jim Mastro, the Wolf Pack running backs coach, departed for UCLA. Prior to that, O-Line assistant coach Chris Klenakis took the same position at Arkansas.  It really isn’t that surprising to those around the [...]

There’s always a ton of prep talent in Northern California that gets little to no national recruiting attention. That’s been proven over the years.  Perhaps some of that is changing with the status of Arik Armstead, the No. 1 prospect in the country according to a pair of national recruiting sites, including Scout.com.  One of [...]

May 25th is a date that Huntington Beach (Calif.) high school linebacker Nolan Biegel will remember for a long time.  Biegel, a hard-hitting, physical and very quick 6-foot-2, 220-pound defender that is especially impressive on film, landed his first scholarship offer from the University of Nevada.  Silver and Blue Sports caught up with the Wolf [...]

“Something has to give on this issue.” Thus spake Britton Banowsky, Commissioner of Conference-USA, on the smoldering subject of paying Division I student athletes.  I agree.  The thing that should be given is money, and the student athletes are to whom it should be given.  You heard me correctly.  The time has come to pay [...]

Nevada found a recruiting gem in the state of Texas.  As they continue to recruit a handful of prospects in the Lone Star state, one player who truly stands out on film is Fort Bend Bush high school defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah. An Associated Press 5A All-State Honorable Mention in 2010, Ogbah stands 6-foot-4, 230-pounds. [...]

When you can boast that your program is the only one in college football with over 12,000 rushing yards over the past three seasons and responsible for breaking two significant NCAA rushing records in the process, you are going to appeal to prep rushers across the country. Even if a young man has a handful [...]

Over the past two months we’ve been on the prowl for 2012 quarterbacks, and the one young man we keep coming back to over and over again is Miramonte’s impressive Ross Anderson.  Although we know a number of fans have yet to really hear that much about this lead Matador, he’s a long-striding, 6-foot-5, 190-pound [...]

Terra Nova high school quarterback Chris Forbes is one prospect that is taking a very active approach to his recruitment.  The Pacifica (Calif.) native has summer trips planned to SMU and Arkansas, plus West Coast looks at San Jose State and Nevada.
