CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- — Western Kentucky redshirt freshman quarterback Caden Veltkamp 6'6", 235 2022 3* Rivals decided to enter the transfer portal earlier this year after being told by the coaching staff he'd be converted to tight end if he came back next season.
The Hilltoppers may want to reconsider that plan.
Veltkamp came off the bench to throw for 383 yards and five touchdowns, Lucas Carneiro made a winning 29-yard field goal in overtime and Western Kentucky erased a 28-point deficit to beat Old Dominion 38-35 on Monday at the Famous Toastery Bowl.
The Hilltoppers (8-5) played without starting quarterback Austin Reed, who opted out of the game to prepare for the NFL draft. The plan was to turn the reigns of the offense over to Turner Helton, the nephew of head coach Tyson Helton.
