Outside shot for All-Mountain West

Based on 2025: #16 of 45 Conference USA LBs — his program moves to the Mountain West for 2026

How the All-Mountain West estimate is computed

22% estimated, 95% confidence interval 19–25%. Base rate measured from players who finished at a comparable rank in their conference and came back the next season. It is an estimate from a small sample, not a forecast of this player. The base rate was measured on players who stayed in the same conference; this estimate is not adjusted for the move to the Mountain West.
