Kentucky Quarterback Brock Vandagriff Retires With One Year of Eligibility Left

The former five-star recruit and Georgia national champion steps away from football after a challenging season at Kentucky.

Brock Vandagriff, a former five-star recruit and Georgia national champion, has retired from football with one year of eligibility remaining.
Vandagriff transferred to Kentucky in 2024 but struggled with consistency, passing for 1,593 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions in 11 games this season.
His season included two benchings and a concussion suffered during a November game against Tennessee, which limited his performance late in the year.
Kentucky has added quarterback Zach Calzada, a seasoned player with SEC experience, to compete for the starting role in 2025.
Vandagriff’s decision leaves Kentucky with limited quarterback depth, as another backup, Gavin Wimsatt, has entered the transfer portal.
