RENO, Nev. - HERO Sports announced its Group of Six Preseason All-America Teams Friday, with the Wolf Pack landing three members. EDGE Dylan LaBarbera and offensive tackle Zach Cochnauer were named to the First Team while kicker Joe McFadden earned a spot on the Third Team.

For LaBarbera, it's the latest in a summer full of preseason honors. The senior EDGE, coming off of a breakout season in 2025, has been a consensus preseason All-Mountain West team selection in addition to being named to the preseason watch list of the Bronko Nagurski Trophy. Last season he emerged as one of the top defenders in the Mountain West, leading the conference and finishing tied for eighth in the country with 17.0 tackles-for-loss and sixth with 1.42 TFLs per game.

Cochnauer established himself as an anchor of The Union in 2025, holding down the right tackle spot while starting 11 games. He was also named to the preseason All-Mountain West Teams of Athlon Sports (First Team) and Phil Steele (Third Team).

McFadden boosts the Wolf Pack special teams with his return in 2026. His 19 field goals a season ago ranked eighth in Nevada's single-season records, and he was a perfect 20-for-20 on PAT attempts. He was also named to the Preseason All-Mountain West Team as named at July's football media days.

Nevada opens the 2026 season with two-straight home contests, first hosting defending New Orleans Bowl champion Western Kentucky Saturday, September 5 at 7:30 p.m. before facing reigning FCS champion Montana State Saturday, September 12 at 7:30 p.m. The Wolf Pack opens Mountain West play Saturday, Sept. 26 hosting Air Force.
