Brock Glenn - Losing ground in QB1 race Rodney Tisdale is believed to be leading the race to be Western Kentucky's starting quarterback for the 2026 season over Glenn (undisclosed), Steven Moffett of Topper Talk Podcast...
Impact Glenn didn't dress for WKU's spring game in early April, and while the race for the starting role remains an open competition, it seems Tisdale is clearly ahead of Glenn at the moment. Glenn spent the last three seasons at FSU, tallying 895 passing yards with a 6:7 TD:INT in that span.

Rodney Tisdale Jr. - Gaining ground in QB1 battle Tisdale is believed to be leading the race to be Western Kentucky's starting quarterback for the 2026 season, Steven Moffett of Topper Talk Podcast (via the G5 Hive Podcast) report...
Impact Tisdale is competing with Brock Glenn for the QB1 role, but the latest reports indicate that the former is ahead in the race. Tisdale tossed for 1,432 yards, nine touchdowns and seven interceptions in 2025 with the Hilltoppers while also picking up 108 yards and a score on the ground.
JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Brock Glenn - Not dressed for spring game Glenn (undisclosed) is not dressed for Western Kentucky's spring game Saturday, Jeff Nations of Bowling Green Daily News reports.
Impact Glenn not being dressed for Western Kentucky's spring game gives Rodney Tisdale a prime opportunity to step up Saturday. The former transferred from Florida State with an intent to improve his chances of starting, but in order to do that, he must now wait until the summer or fall.
APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE
Brock Glenn - Competing for QB1 gig Glenn is competing with Rodney Tisdale for the Hilltoppers' QB gig, per the Bowling Green Daily News.
Impact Glenn spent three seasons at Florida State and burned two years of eligibility. Last fall, he tossed for 69 yards and two touchdowns in a reserve role. He's right in the mix to compete with Tisdale for Western Kentucky's QB1 role, and with both gunslingers boasting experience and various levels of upside, this should be an intriguing quarterback competition.
APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE
Rodney Tisdale Jr. - Competing for starting gig Tisdale (undisclosed) is competing with Brock Glenn for the Wildcats' starting quarterback gig, per the Bowling Green Daily News.
Impact Tisdale tossed for 1,432 yards, nine touchdowns and seven interceptions in 2025 with the Hilltoppers, also picking up 108 yards and a score on the ground. He's competing with Glenn, an incoming transfer who spent the past three seasons at Florida State. It'll be interesting to see what wins out here: Tisdale's experience and familiarity with the Hilltoppers, or Glenn's Power Four resume.
APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE
Kalib Hicks - Joining WKU Hicks has joined WKU for the 2026 season.
Impact The sophomore RB spent the 2025 season with Oklahoma State, tallying 44 carries for 128 yards across six appearances. He only averaged 2.9 yards per carry, however, so he needs to be more efficient going forward.
APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE
Qua'Vez Humphreys - Lands at WKU Humphreys will transfer to Western Kentucky, per Sidelines - Sam Houston.
Impact Humphreys spent the past two seasons at Sam Houston. In 2025, he reeled in 12 catches for 132 yards and one touchdown. With what should be one final season of eligibility, he'll look to make a dent in the Hilltoppers' wide receiver rotation.
APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE
Ajay Allen - Joins Hilltoppers Allen will transfer to Western Kentucky, per the program's official roster.
Impact Allen is coming off a career year in 2025, his first season with Tulsa after he began his career at Nebraska and spent two seasons at Miami. This past fall, he ran for 497 yards and five touchdowns on 97 carries (5.1 yards per carry), also catching 10 passes for 98 yards. He should immediately factor into the Hilltoppers' rotation on the ground.
APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE
Zion Taylor - Joins Hilltoppers Taylor will transfer to Western Kentucky, he announced via X.
Impact Taylor caught 11 passes for 129 yards and one touchdown in 2025 with Georgia Tech. He spent three seasons in Atlanta, and will now join Western Kentucky with two years of eligibility remaining.
JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Brock Glenn - Joining WKU program Glenn is transferring to Western Kentucky, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.
Impact Glenn will join the Hilltoppers after spending three seasons with Florida State. The 6-foot-2 quarterback totaled 895 passing yards, six passing touchdowns and seven interceptions during his time with the Seminoles. He should have a good shot at WKU's QB1 role for the 2026 campaign.
JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE
Matthew Henry - Declares for NFL Draft Henry announced that he will be entering the 2026 NFL Draft, Topper Talk Podcast reports.
Impact Henry showcased his big-play ability his last two years, one at Western Illinois and this past year at Western Kentucky. He combined to total 119 catches for 2,099 yards and 12 touchdowns. With no college eligibility left, Henry will test his abilities with the hopes of making it onto an NFL roster in 2026.
DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
K.D. Hutchinson - Negative yard during bowl Hutchinson caught 5 of 6 targets for negative one yard during Tuesday's 27-16 victory against Southern Miss.
Impact Concerning 2025, Hutchinson's latest log is his worst. During every other game then, he impressed, indicated by his 66 receptions (on 83 targets) for 618 yards and three touchdowns.
DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Matthew Henry - Logs 126 receiving yards Henry reeled in 7 of 11 targets for 126 yards during Tuesday's 27-16 win versus Southern Miss.
Impact For only the third time in 2025, Henry logged triple-digit receiving yards. The wide receiver finished his senior season with a strong output featuring 55 receptions (on 91 targets) for 888 yards (16.1 averaged per reception) and six touchdowns in 13 games.
DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Marvis Parrish - Finally logs rushing touchdown Parrish posted seven rushes for 65 yards and one touchdown and gathered in 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Tuesday's 27-16 victory versus Southern Miss.
Impact Parrish has logged over 100 rushing attempts, but it took Western Kentucky's bowl game for him to finally log a touchdown. But because of his all-purpose yardage, 2025 was still a strong first season for the running back, who recorded 576 rushing yards and 203 receiving yards.
DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Maverick McIvor - Mixed performance during bowl game McIvor completed 12 of 19 passes for 199 yards and one interception during Tuesday's 27-16 win over Southern Miss. He also had eight rushes for 48 yards with one touchdown.
Impact McIvor's rushing touchdown marks his first since Week 1, and his 48 yards are a season-high. On the other hand, he failed to log any passing touchdowns and recorded more turnovers. They are why McIvor was dropped from starting quarterback, a demotion that cost the QB four games and limited him to 183 completed passes on 273 pass attempts for 2,062 yards and a 12-6 TD-INT ratio.

Rodney Tisdale Jr. - Exits bowl game with injury Tisdale went 9-for-20 passing with 65 passing yards and an interception during Tuesday's 27-16 win over Southern Miss. He left the game in the second quarter with an undisclosed in...
Impact Per Scott Watkins of the Sun Herald, Tisdale took a big hit in the second quarter and left the contest, with Maverick McIvor stepping in at quarterback. It was a disappointing end to a solid season for the young signal caller who'll finish the campaign with 1,367 passing yards and 11 total touchdowns across seven games.
