CHEYENNE — Sophomore transfer Dax Crum was named the starting quarterback for Wyoming on Friday, beating out returning starter Karsten Sween.
Starting quarterback has been the main question mark of the Cowboys offense, which ranked 107th nationally in scoring in 2007.
“It has been a battle, and we feel we have two very good quarterbacks,” Wyoming coach Joe Glenn said in a statement. “But at this point, we have to get one guy ready for the opener against Ohio. Dax will get the start, but Karsten needs to stay sharp and I know he will.”
The 6-foot-4, 228-pound Crum transferred to Laramie from Mesa Community College in Arizona, where he played one year after leaving the Arizona State team.
Crum earned honorable mention National Junior College Athletic Association All-America honors at Mesa. He was named the NJCAA co-Region I offensive player of the year.
