The Kentucky Wildcats have officially announced that standout guard Otega Oweh will return for the 2025-26 season, providing a major boost to the team as they aim to build on their recent success and remain competitive at the highest level of college basketball.
After transferring to Kentucky for the 2024-25 season, Oweh quickly made an impact with his athleticism, defensive skills, and scoring ability. He played a key role in the Wildcats’ campaign, demonstrating his versatility on both ends of the court. His return ensures stability for the team and adds experienced leadership in the backcourt.
“We’re excited to have Otega back for another season,” head coach John Calipari said. “His dedication and hard work have been outstanding, and he’ll be a crucial part of what we’re building. He has unfinished business and is ready to help us reach our goals.”
By choosing to return instead of exploring professional opportunities or entering the transfer portal, Oweh has reaffirmed his confidence in the program’s direction. With a strong core of returning players and incoming recruits, Kentucky is shaping up as a serious contender for the 2025-26 season.
As Oweh and the Wildcats prepare for another competitive year, both fans and analysts will be watching closely, anticipating a deep NCAA Tournament run.
