Brothers Destin and Keaten Wade are planning to call Boulder home.
The former Kentucky football players announced Friday their intention to transfer to Colorado and play for Deion Sanders’ Buffaloes.
Destin is a 6-foot-3, 223-pound quarterback who was a redshirt freshman at Kentucky this past season. He didn’t appear in any games for the Wildcats this season, but did start in the Music City Bowl a year ago, completing 16-of-30 passes for 98 yards. That was his only appearance at Kentucky.
At Spring Hill (Tenn.) High School in 2021, he was “Mr. Football” for the state’s largest classification. Rated as a four-star recruit, he helped his team go 40-5 in high school. As a senior, he threw for 1,436 yards and 18 touchdowns and ran for 2,308 yards and 30 touchdowns.
His twin brother, Keaten, is a 6-foot-5, 250-pound outside linebacker who was a sophomore this season for the Wildcats.
Keaten played in all 12 regular season games, recording 35 tackles, three tackles for loss, one sack, three quarterback hurries and a blocked kick. As a true freshman in 2022, he played in all 13 games, posting 16 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and a pass breakup.
Like his brother, Keaten was rated as a four-star prospect coming out of Spring Hill High School. He racked up 84 tackles, 26 tackles for loss, eight sacks and two interceptions as a senior and played in the All-American Bowl.
Keaten Wade will have two seasons of eligibility remaining, while Destin has three.
