Last Saturday at New Mexico, the Wyoming Cowboys held a 20-14 lead with less than two minutes remaining in the game and New Mexico had the ball at its own 27-yard line. It was then that Stone intercepted a pass from the Lobo quarterback and returned the interception 38 yards for a touchdown to give the Cowboys a 27-14 lead with 1:09 remaining in the game to seal the victory.
Stone was also credited with four tackles in the game and he returned two kickoffs for 33 yards, ending the day with 71 all-purpose yards. He helped lead a Wyoming defense that held New Mexico scoreless in the final three quarters and allowed the Lobos only 99 yards of total offense in the second half of the game.

That individual and his family will be honored at the annual Paul Hornung Award dinner at the Galt House Hotel in downtown Louisville in March 2023.
