WKU football Head Coach Tyson Helton announced Monday that redshirt sophomore quarterback Caden Veltkamp will start against Toledo on Saturday.
Helton also said that former starter TJ Finley will be out “probably for several weeks” with a lower leg injury he sustained this past weekend against MTSU.
“Feel bad for TJ because he was putting together some good games and had done a really good job for us,” Helton said. “Hopefully we can get him back in a couple weeks or so.”
After Finley went out against the Blue Raiders, Veltkamp stepped in and went 27-30 with 398 yards and six total touchdowns.
“We got to carry that momentum now into this game. One game doesn’t make a season,” Helton said. “He’s going to have to go back out there and continue to lead this team but no question in my mind he’ll do that. We’re very comfortable with him being the quarterback.”
