Former Texas A&M Aggies QB Zach Calzada commits to Kentucky Wildcats

Former Texas A&M Aggies quarterback Zach Calzada is heading back to the SEC.

Following his decision to leave the Incarnate Word and enter the NCAA Transfer Portal this week, Calzada was looking for his fourth home in as many years.

Now, according to reports from On3he has found that home and is committing to the Kentucky Wildcats on Thursday. He will have one year of eligibility left.

Last season, Calzada led the Cardinals to one of the best seasons in school history, including an 11-3 record and a Southland Conference championship, all while throwing for 3,744 yards and 35 touchdowns.

With the Aggies, Calzada took over for 2021 starter Haynes King after a season-ending leg injury suffered against Colorado in Week 2. In 12 games, he completed 56.3 percent of his passes for 2,185 yards, 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions.

Calzada is probably best remembered in College Station for his epic performance against then-No. 1 Alabama in 2021. Completing 21-of-31 passes, Calzada threw for 285 yards and three touchdowns en route to a 41-38 upset victory at Kyle Field.

After an 8-4 season, Calzada announced he would transfer from Texas A&M to Auburn. He never saw the field of the Tigers until he entered the portal and went to the Incarnate Word.
