The most valuable of the returners will be RB James Butler. After averaging 6.47 yards per carry as a sophomore, many conference experts say he has the potential to be named the best tailback in the Mountain West.
In addition to the returners, a few big name transfers will add even more to the Wolf Pack’s depth. Running back Akeel Lynch transferred to Nevada from Penn State in search of more carries. Plus, a QB by the name of Austin Kafentzis transferred from Wisconsin and is now the highest rated recruit on the Nevada roster!
The Pack also returns an experienced 5th year dual threat QB in Tyler Stewart.
