Nevada Football: 2022 Team Preview Of The Nevada Wolf Pack

Nevada Wolf Pack is rebuilding with a new head coach and new players.

Nevada Wolf Pack is rebuilding for the 2022 season. New head coach Ken Wilson and several new players will make their debut this season, but the talent that propelled the Nevada Wolf pack to the level of championship contention in the Mountain West the last two seasons is no longer there.

Nevada is transitioning from the Air Raid system to the Run-oriented balanced system. There are some returning players to help ease the transition. The team is uncertain at quarterback, wide receiver, offensive and defensive line, linebacker and punter.

Cox has the most experience playing for the Nevada Wolf Pack. Illingsworth has played for Oklahoma State. The running back position for Nevada is solidified. Jamaal Bell is the only returning wide receiver for this season's team. The wide receivers and tight ends are still in flux. Coach Wilson will have options in the tight end position. Nevada's season opener is on August 27th. They have players like Jacob Munro, Edwin Lacrosse and Dyson Frank. Victor Snow had a good Spring game. He could be a target for Coach Wilsons' passing attack. There are players from Arizona, Oregon and Illinois.

Nevada lost several key players on the defense line last year. Dom Peterson is the only player who is returning from that group. The Wolf Pack lost Lawson Hall, Dayian Henley, Jordan Lee and Lamin Touray via the transfer portal. William Green, James Hansen, Louie Cresto and Christopher Love are potential transfer candidates. Nevada also lost BenDale Robins and AJ King at cornerback. The remaining linebackers have a combined total of 27 tackles. They need to be rebuilt fast. Jaden Dedman and Isaiah Essissima are returning at safety. It is not all bad for the team as they have players at the safety position.
