Kentucky is naming transfer Zach Calzada as its starting quarterback for Saturday's season opener against Toledo, ESPN reported Monday.
The former Texas A&M (2019-21), Auburn (2022) and Incarnate Word (2023-24) signal-caller won a camp competition with redshirt freshman Cutter Boley.
Calzada finished No. 2 in the FCS last season in passing touchdowns (35) and No. 5 in passing yards (3,744).
For Calzada, now a seventh-year grad student, his career totals include 8,660 yards and 73 touchdowns through the air and 380 yards and 11 scores on the ground.
Calzada's career highlight came on Oct. 9, 2021 when he passed for 285 yards and three touchdowns in Texas A&M's 41-38 upset of No. 1 Alabama and quarterback Bryce Young.
