It’s the second time the Wildcats have been picked No. 1 in the preseason polls. Weber State was also picked to win the Big Sky prior to the 2020 campaign.
“It’s always an honor to be picked first,” said WSU head coach Jay Hill, the spring 2021 Big Sky Coach of the Year. “I think it has more to do with what the last four teams have done than this team. I never put a lot of stock in the preseason rankings because it will be decided on the field but it is an honor to get the respect.”
