Kentucky Wildcats Unveil Full 14-Man Roster, Otega Oweh Named Team Captain
In a much-anticipated announcement that has the Bluegrass buzzing, the Kentucky Wildcats have officially revealed their 14-man roster for the upcoming basketball season — and all eyes are on standout guard **Otega Oweh**, who has been named team captain.
Oweh, known for his two-way dominance, explosive athleticism, and undeniable leadership, has earned the captaincy after a standout offseason in which he impressed coaches and teammates alike. The junior guard is expected to be the heart and soul of a Wildcats squad that is looking to return to national prominence and compete deep into March.
“His energy is contagious, and his work ethic is unmatched,” said Head Coach Mark Pope. “Otega represents everything we want Kentucky basketball to stand for — toughness, selflessness, and relentless pursuit of greatness.”
Alongside Oweh, two assistant captains have also been named to help lead the team: a pair of trusted veterans who bring leadership and experience to the locker room. While their names haven’t been publicly confirmed yet, sources close to the program say they will serve as key voices in game planning, locker room accountability, and team chemistry throughout the season.
The rest of the roster features a mix of promising freshmen, experienced transfers, and returning players, creating a deep and versatile lineup capable of matching up with anyone in the country. With strong leadership in place and a renewed sense of purpose under Coach Pope’s regime, the Wildcats are poised to make a serious run at championship contention.
Big Blue Nation has reason to be excited — and with Oweh steering the ship, the road to March Madness starts now.
