Former UNLV offensive lineman Nathan Jacobson will receive a tryout from the Denver Broncos in their rookie minicamp in less than two weeks.
UNLV football coach Tony Sanchez, as expected, will return for a fifth season, athletic director Desiree Reed-Francois said Thursday morning.
UNLV quarterback Armani Rogers threw in practice on Monday, providing some hope in a season that has gone backward. He was out the past four games with an injured toe.
UNLV appears to have an excellent chance to make a bowl this season. But the Rebels have some obstacles to clear to get there.
Three more players with local ties signed NFL contracts as undrafted free agents. Four players have signed overall, and two others were drafted.
Shelton Zeon III, a tight end from Norcross (Georgia) High School, tweeted Monday his commitment to play football at UNLV.
Tony Sanchez concluded his third season as coach Saturday, when the Rebels lost to a historically bad UNR side 23-16 and with it a chance to become bowl eligible and reclaim ownership of the Fremont Cannon.
UNLV quarterback Armani Rogers was named Mountain West Freshman of the Year on Wednesday, and running back Lexington Thomas was selected to the all-conference first team.
Quarterback Johnny Stanton led UNLV to a 26-16 victory at Fresno State that put life back into the Rebels’ season, giving them a realistic shot at a bowl berth.
The Rebels return home Saturday to host the San Jose State Spartans in the team’s first conference matchup of the season.
Legendary broadcaster Brent Musburger and nine other handicappers give their best college football bets.
A look at who has the advantage at each position when UNLV hosts San Jose State in a 7:30 p.m. game Saturday at Sam Boyd Stadium.
San Jose State’s defense has been on the field for 441 snaps, the highest in the nation. It gives UNLV, with its outstanding offensive line and running game, an opportunity to wear down the Spartans.
Howard is under a new coaching staff, which makes it difficult for UNLV to prepare for its season football opener. But the Bison also don’t know everything the Rebels plan to implement.
