Playing his seventh college football season, Zach Calzada has made some headlines over his career. Beating Alabama on a bum leg, topping passing touchdowns at Incarnate Word, and more. Seeing his arm strength and experience, Mark Stoops brought him to Kentucky. But neither the HC nor Kentucky expected the QB’s ‘money-antics’ to dominate the headlines.

Zach Calzada was already benched for redshirt freshman Cutter Boley, owing to inconsistencies. Previously, it was reported that the 24-year-old was paid to come to the UK. Wildcat Blue Nation’s Drew Holbrook wrote, “Calzada is a guy this staff scouted, vetted, and paid to come to be the QB at Kentucky.”
