Cheyenne QB Club Board Member Andy Miller said,  "We've been doing the rings for 15 plus years it means a lot it's really something those kids can keep for their lives and remember the University of Wyoming from and we're proud to present those rings every year."

Also presented was the Larry Birleffi award for Most Outstanding Player, that honor went to Senior Linebacker Brian Hendricks, he said, "It's been such an honor to play for such a wonderful team and such a wonderful state.
