Kentucky Wildcats
· 2026-06-26
Kentucky Wildcats have landed a quarterback commitment from Callum Wither for the 2026 season.
Callum Wither, a 6-foot-4, 215-pound quarterback from Ontario, Canada, will join the Wildcats this fall.
He initially committed to play at Maryland but backed off that commitment to join Kentucky.
Wither's addition will provide depth to the quarterback room, an area of focus for Will Stein and the coaching staff.
He has experience in multiple systems, having played for the Ohio Bobcats and Wilfrid University in Ontario.
The Wildcats' next game is vs Youngstown State Penguins on 2026-09-05.
Wither's performance at Wilfrid University, where he completed 72.7% of his passes, will be closely watched.
He threw for 2,472 yards with 26 touchdowns vs. four interceptions.
The quarterback room now has added depth, which could be valuable for the Wildcats.
And with Wither's experience, he could provide value to the team.
But it's unclear how he will perform at the Division I level.
So the upcoming season will be important for Wither and the Wildcats.
Wither's commitment is a late addition, but it shows the coaching staff's focus on the quarterback position.
The Wildcats are looking to ensure they have plenty of depth at quarterback.
