Forgotten Saturdays: Jovon Bouknight WR Wyoming Cowboys football (2002–2005) 🤠

On late Saturday nights on the East Coast, when college football was winding down, I remember catching Wyoming late.

Wyoming had a receiver who helped grow my love of the game, a dynamic weapon in Laramie, and one of the best college playmakers I remember watching.

Bouknight was a standout quarterback at Denver’s Manual High School, but switched to receiver when he arrived on campus with the Bramlet brothers already in place. The move paid off immediately as he led the Cowboys with 63 catches as a freshman in a room with future NFL talent like Scottie Vines and Malcom Floyd.

In 2003, he had 47 receptions for 746 yards and 7 TDs, while adding yards on the ground and as a kick returner, showing early signs of becoming a true all-purpose weapon.

Everything clicked in 2004. Bouknight caught 63 passes for 1,075 yards and 11 TDs as Wyoming made a bowl trip. His signature moment came in the Las Vegas Bowl against UCLA — a reverse pass touchdown in a 24–21 win that gave the program its first bowl victory in 38 years.

In 2005, he had his best season with 77 catches for 1,116 yards and 12 TDs, remaining a big-play threat even as the team struggled.

By the end of his career, Bouknight was Wyoming’s all-time leader in all-purpose yardage (5,921), kickoff return yards (2,016), and average yards per game (126), and fifth in total touchdowns with 30. A six-time all-conference honoree, he left Laramie as one of the most versatile playmakers in program history.

A true Forgotten Saturday, the kind of late-night playmaker that sticks with you long after the games end.
