Last week we asked our Rivals.com scouts around the country to offer their thoughts on Wyoming recruits they may have seen play in-person. While we weren't able to get something on each recruit, here's what selected Rivals.com scouts had to say:

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT THE POKES

Omar Stover
Running Back
5-11, 195
Bolingbrook, Illinois

He is just a very steady and a very solid ball carrier for the Raiders and head coach John Ivlow. He was a bit overshadowed recruiting wise by Illinois verbal commit QB Aaron Bailey (Illinois ), yet Stover made a mark in his high school career. He led the Raiders to the 2011 Class 8A state football title, the school's first football state title.

Stover was the lead back in the Raiders veer option game and also showed that he's also a very solid blocker. Doesn't have a ton of breakaway speed but remains a very solid and physically strong in between the tackles type of back.

Connor Riese
Offensive Tackle
6-7, 305
Scofield, Wisconsin
DV Everest

The first thing that stands out about Riese is his size. He is all of a 6-foot-6 and 305 pounds, and he moves pretty well for that size. He is a powerful down blocker who maintains good pad level and leverage.

As he progresses Riese will need to work on his kick slide and pass protection, but the tools are there for him to be an all-around offensive tackle prospect.

Kurtis Stirneman
Offensive Tackle
6-6, 280
Woodstock, Illinois
Marian Central Catholic

Originally committed to Western Michigan but reopened his recruiting when the Broncos fired longtime head coach Bill Cubit and ended up with the Cowboys.

Stirneman is a big thick and physical point of attack blocker who's best football is still ahead of him. Led an offensive line in 2012 that produced some eye popping numbers offensive for the Hurricanes and Minnesota verbal commit QB Chris Streveler.

He seems more comfortable at this stage with pass blocking but has the ability and the raw tools to also improve his run blocking game. Great kid off the field as well. (Tim O'Halloran)

Troy Boyland
Defensive Tackle
6-3, 305
College of San Mateo
San Maeto, California

Big-body inside guy with a great center of gravity and lower-body strength. Only played in a handful of games this season but was great when he played. Should come in right away and press for time.

JD Krill
Tight End
6-6, 255
Saddleback CC
Mission Viejo, California

Has all the tools to be a good one, but was underutilized at Saddleback. Has decent open-field speed and plays with a chip on his shoulder.

Jeff Lark
OLB
6-2, 230
Arizona Western CC
Yuma, Arizona

Physical player that is very good against the run and has great anticipation as a pass-rusher. Needs some work in coverage, but should contribute quickly.

Malkaam Muhammad
OLB
6-0, 225
Iowa Western CC
Council Bluffs, Iowa

Muhammad
Physical player with great vision that could transition inside. Solid tackling skills.

Jesse Sampson
Safety
6-1, 200
College of the Canyons
Santa Clarita, California

Great at fighting off blocks in run support and better-than-average coverage skills. Solid frame to build on and should press for immediate playing time.

(Brad Hoiseth - JCgridiron.com)

Jordan Stanton
ILB
6-2, 250
Pierce CC
Los Angeles, California

Solid athlete that will be making a big jump after playing in the lower tier in Southern California. Very good against the run and can line up as a rush-end, if needed.

(Brad Hoiseth - JCgridiron.com)

Albert Perez
Center
6-1, 285
East Los Angeles CC
Los Angeles, California

Tremendous athlete for his size that will quickly find his way on to the field. Great feet and a solid leader.
