Rankings from Coaches Poll

The Nevada Wolf Pack began play in the 2015 CFBHC Season. They suffered loss after loss, and ended up 1-11 overall and 0-7 in the AAC. However, Stephan Bennett began to emerge as a legitimate leader of the squad, and many positive things were on show. John Sheldon and David Brown began to show sparks of brilliance at the wide receiver position while Marvin Carter kept defenses honest with his gashing runs and nose for the end zone. Defensively, linebacker John Harris anchored the line, leading the team in tackles. A weak pass rush was bolstered up with the dominant play of cornerback Peter Blackwell and the growing pass rush presence of defensive tackle Danny Davis.

Because the team did not have a coach this season, recruiting was a major struggle. The only players that join the team this season were walk-ons. As there was not a coach, players constantly changed positions and tactics, leading to no set depth chart and no set positions. A full roster was never even established.
