WKU OL transfer Evan Wibberley schedules Kentucky visit

Another offensive line transfer has scheduled a visit to Kentucky.

This time, it’s center prospect Evan Wibberley, who spent the last three seasons at Western Kentucky but has since entered his name into the portal. Wibberley tells KSR that he will visit UK next week (Dec. 20-21). A redshirt sophomore, the 6-foot-5, 295-pound product out of Dixie Heights High School in Edgewood, KY has two years of eligibility remaining.

Wibberley officially entered his name into the portal earlier this week. He is viewed as a potential plug-and-play starter and could fill in immediately as Eli Cox‘s replacement at center if he ends up choosing the Wildcats.

Considered a three-star recruit out of high school, Wibberley sat out his entire freshman season at WKU due to injury. As a redshirt freshman the following season in 2023, he appeared in 11 games for the Hilltoppers. He was primarily used as a depth piece on special teams that season but had to take over as the emergency starter in WKU’s 38-35 overtime bowl win over Old Dominion. Wibberley was later named to the Conference USA All-Freshman Team.

He developed into a full-time starter at center for the Hilltoppers this past season and was one of 15 players on WKU to earn All-CUSA honors, receiving an Honorable Mention nod. According to PFF, Wibberley allowed just 11 quarterback pressures without giving up any sacks in 2024 while playing nearly 900 snaps.
