Air Force Falcons QB John Busha Flips Commitment to Wyoming Cowboys, Choosing Laramie Over Washington State, Boise State, and UNLV
In a major surprise for the college football recruiting world, quarterback John Busha, who had previously committed to Air Force, has officially flipped his commitment to the Wyoming Cowboys. Busha, a highly-touted dual-threat quarterback, had been on the radar of several top programs but ultimately chose to join the Cowboys over other powerhouses, including Washington State, Boise State, and UNLV.
The 6-foot-4, 210-pound signal caller had been considered a major get for Air Force, known for his impressive arm strength, mobility, and playmaking ability. However, after an official visit to Wyoming, Busha reportedly felt a strong connection to the Cowboys’ coaching staff and program, leading to his decision to commit to head coach Craig Bohl’s squad.
Wyoming, which has been making strides in recent years, lands a major talent in Busha, who brings both experience and upside to the quarterback position. His ability to extend plays with his legs while also being a strong passer makes him a perfect fit for Wyoming’s offense. The Cowboys had been in the hunt for a quarterback of Busha’s caliber, and his commitment marks a significant moment in their recruiting efforts.
The flip also marks a blow to Air Force’s recruiting class, which had been hoping to build around Busha as their future quarterback. Despite the loss, the Falcons are still expected to remain competitive in the recruiting landscape, as they focus on securing other top-tier prospects in the coming months.
Additionally, Washington State, Boise State, and UNLV had all been in the mix for Busha’s services, with each program making a strong pitch. Ultimately, Busha’s decision to choose Wyoming came down to the program’s vision for his development and the opportunity to compete in the Mountain West Conference.
For Wyoming, this is a huge win as they continue to strengthen their recruiting class and add key pieces to their roster. Busha’s commitment is seen as a step forward for the Cowboys, as they aim to build on their recent successes and position themselves as a rising program in the Mountain West.
