Cody senior Nic Talich is following in his father's footsteps, and that's likely good news for the University of Wyoming football team. Thursday, the Broncs' 6-foot, 190-pounder committed to the Cowboys as a preferred walk-on.
Talich is the son of former UW linebacker Jim Talich, who played for the Cowboys from 1994-97 and is still No. 3 on the school's all-time tackles list. Jim Talich was the defensive coordinator for Cody this past season, where he got a first-hand look at his oldest son's exploits on the football field. Nic averaged 23.1 defensive points per game to lead Class 3A and finished second in the state with 128 tackles.
