Available to face Georgia Calzada (undisclosed) is not on the injury report for Saturday's game at Georgia.
Impact Calzada was initially listed as probable Wednesday, but the signal-caller is now available to play Saturday. He should operate as the backup behind Cutter Boley.
OCTOBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Listed as probable for Week 6 Calzada is probable for Kentucky's clash with Georgia in Week 6.
Impact Calzada has been a question mark health-wise the past few weeks, but it's been unclear if he's available as he's been the backup to Cutter Boley. At this point, he's unlikely to play unless Boley goes down, but he should be available against Georgia if that winds up being the case.
OCTOBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Off injury report Calzada (shoulder) is off the injury report and will be available to face South Carolina on Saturday.
Impact Calzada will return to the active roster Saturday, but whether he sees the field or not is a different story. He seems to have lost the starting role to Cutter Boley, so Calzada will be operating as a backup going forward.
SEPTEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Listed as questionable Calzada (shoulder) is listed as questionable on Kentucky's injury report ahead of Week 5.
Impact Calzada hasn't played since Week 2 and while his availability remains in question, Cutter Boley has been named the Wildcats' starting quarterback moving forward, so we may not know Calzada's injury status unless the Wildcats are forced to go deeper into their quarterback room.
SEPTEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Won't start vs. Gamecocks Calzada (shoulder) isn't listed as a starter on Kentucky's depth chart ahead of Week 5, per Mark Story of the Lexington Hearld-Leader.
Impact Kentucky instead has Cutter Boley listed as its starter, with Calzada and Beau Allen sharing the No. 2 spot with an "OR" designation. Calzada has dealt with a shoulder injury that's forced him to miss time early this season, but he may have now been supplanted as the starter for Kentucky. He remains questionable heading into Week 5.

McGowan runs for 3 TDs, Boley passes for 2 scores as Kentucky beats E. Michigan 48-23

Seth McGowan rushed for 104 yards and three touchdowns, Cutter Boley threw two touchdown passes in his first start of the season, and Kentucky to a 48-23 win over Eastern Michigan

Not starting vs. EMU Calzada (shoulder) won't get the start against Eastern Michigan, per Nick Roush of KSR.
Impact Calzada left Kentucky's narrow loss to Ole Miss with a shoulder injury. He missed practice Monday, so it's unsurprising that he's since been ruled out. In his stead, redshirt freshman Cutter Boley will get the nod at quarterback. It's unclear how long Calzada will be out for at this point, but the fact that he was ruled out on Wednesday isn't the greatest sign. His next chance to play will come against South Carolina in Week 5 after a bye.
SEPTEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Will not practice Monday Calzada (shoulder) will not practice Monday, Jeff Drummond of Rivals reports.
Impact Calzada not practicing Monday indicates that his injured shoulder is still a problem. The quarterback's availability status remains unknown. Currently, Kentucky's next game is Sept. 13 against Eastern Michigan. Afterward, the 2025 Wildcats' conference schedule will continue.

Poor day before exiting with injury Calzada (shoulder) was 15-for-30 passing for 149 yards during Saturday's 30-23 loss to Mississippi.
Impact Calzada struggled for most of the day as he completed just 50-percent of his passes for 4.9 yards per attempt. Calzada would leave the game in the fourth quarter seemingly with a shoulder injury being replaced by Cutter Boley

Kewan Lacy ran for 138 yards and a touchdown to help No. 20 Mississippi beat Kentucky 30-23 on Saturday in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams
SEPTEMBER 6, 2025 • Associated Press
Injury remains largely unknown Calzada's availability remains unknown immediately after the game after he left Kentucky's loss to Ole Miss with a shoulder injury, per Jeff Drummond of Rivals.com.
Impact Wildcats' head coach Mark Stoops couldn't offer much on Calzada: "He's hurt. Not sure of the status. Banged up. Don't know the extent. Might miss Monday or Tuesday," he told reporters. That doesn't tell us much, but the notion that Calzada might miss early practice this week is an indication that his immediate status for Week 3 against Eastern Michigan is in question.
SEPTEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable to return Saturday Calzada is questionable to return to Saturday's game against Ole Miss due to a shoulder injury, Daniel Hager of On3.com reports.
Impact Calzada left the contest due to a shoulder injury, and his return is uncertain, which complicates things for the Kentucky offense. Cutter Boley took his place under center. Calzada completed 15 of 30 passes for 149 yards before departing the contest.

No. 20 Ole Miss visits Kentucky in SEC action

SEPTEMBER 2, 2025 • Associated Press
Tough day in season opener Calzada completed 10 of 23 passes for 85 yards and one interception during Saturday's 24-16 victory over Toledo. He also had 10 rushes for 14 yards with one touchdown.
Impact Calzada struggled as he wasn't able to complete 50-percent of his passes and couldn't manage to get 100-yards of total offense on the day. However it would be just enough to get a win in the Wildcats season opener.

Zach Calzada shaky in debut, but Kentucky escapes Toledo Despite a rocky debut from Zach Calzada, the Wildcats leaned on defense and timely scoring to secure the win.

Zach Calzada named Kentucky's starting quarterback for 2025 season | Sporting News Kentucky names Zach Calzada its starting QB for 2025. The veteran brings SEC experience, FCS production, and a history of big-game wins.
AUGUST 26, 2025 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM
Named starting QB for Week 1 Calzada will be the Wildcats' starting quarterback for their upcoming game Saturday against Toledo, Pete Thamel of ESPN reports.
Impact Since the Wildcats' spring camp, their starting quarterback would be either Calzada or Cutter Boley, scheduled for his second Kentucky season. Eventually, the former won out. In comparison, what the latter lacks is in-game experience, and Calzada has much of it. During 2024, as part of Incarnate Word, he logged more than 4,000 all-purpose yards and exactly 40 touchdowns. Calzada also has SEC experience, having recorded 2,185 passing yards and a 17-9 TD-INT ratio. However, 2021 is when he logged both. The question becomes whether or not Calzada can re-acclimate to SEC football, especially as a more accurate and versatile quarterback, which UIW previously rostered.
