Caden Veltkamp - Could play at Alabama Veltkamp could play during Western Kentucky's game Saturday at Alabama, Cole McIntire of The Extra Point WKU reports.

Impact Despite the fact that TJ Finley was named Western Kentucky's starting quarterback Saturday, head coach Tyson Helton publicized Monday that he told both Finley and Veltkamp they need to be ready to play. The latter is expected to, which gives him an opportunity to showcase his case on why he should be WKU's primary QB.

TJ Finley - Named starting QB for Week 1 Finley was named starting quarterback for Western Kentucky's game Saturday at Alabama, Cole McIntire of The Extra Point WKU reports.

Impact Unsurprisingly, Western Kentucky's team is going with the most experienced quarterback it has to go up against Alabama, an SEC powerhouse who participated in the College Football Playoff just last year. The majority of Finley's experience came from Texas State's 2023 season, when he broke out by completing 67.4 percent of 414 passes for 3,439 yards and a 24:8 TD:INT ratio.

Koy Moore - Joining WKU Moore is transferring to Western Kentucky, Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Moore will join Western Kentucky for what will likely be his final season of eligibility after playing for LSU and Auburn previously. The 6-foot-1 wide receiver brought in just three receptions for 24 yards in the 2023 season, so he'll get a chance to reset with the Hilltoppers.

Michael Mathison - Full go in fall camp Mathison (hip) is practicing fully in Western Kentucky's fall camp period, Jeff Nations of Bowling Green Daily News reports.

Impact Mathison missed the entire 2023 season with an injury, but played very well in 2022 as one of the Hilltoppers' top targets. In that campaign, he reeled in 52 catches for 615 yards and three scores. Now fully healthy once again, Mathison should resume his role as one of Western Kentucky's top receivers.

AUGUST 1 • ROTOWIRE

Demick Starling - Joins Western Kentucky Starling has joined Western Kentucky for the 2024 campaign.

Impact Starling entered the transfer portal back in November while redshirting the 2023 season with Virginia. The 6-foot senior will join Western Kentucky with 11 catches for 188 yards and two touchdowns across three years to his name, so he'll have plenty of room to grow with the Hilltoppers.
