LARAMIE, Wyo. — Wyoming wrestling head coach Mark Branch says the school will honor the scholarship offered to a Nebraska recruit who had his left leg amputated above the knee after a car accident.

Doyle Trout was injured in a one-car accident on Sunday afternoon near Waco, Nebraska.

Trout is a four-time Nebraska state champion.

Branch visited Trout and his family on Monday at a hospital in Lincoln.

In a statement issued Tuesday, Branch says the Trout has gone through a life-changing incident but he’s still considered a Wyoming Cowboy.

He says Trout is in good spirits and is equipped to handle the change.
