Get to know the Kentucky football roster: No. 37 Spencer Ledbetter

The 2026 Kentucky football season continues to get closer and closer, and Will Stein’s first year as head coach promises to be interesting. There are 37 days until their first game, and as we count down, we’re getting to know the roster. Today, we’re looking at No. 37, Spencer Ledbetter.

Ledbetter is a 6’3″, 198 lb wide receiver out of Illinois. He was a multi-sport athlete at Loyola Academy who wasn’t heavily recruited, but ended up heading to Kentucky to join the Wildcats under Mark Stoops.

He didn’t play as a freshman, but Ledbetter did play in a couple of games in his sophomore season. Last season, he played against Eastern Michigan, though he didn’t record a catch. In three years, he doesn’t have any receiving stats, but stands ready.

Heading into his senior campaign, Ledbetter is once again not expected to be a starter. However, despite being down on the depth chart, he will stay ready if he’s needed, whether it’s at receiver or on special teams. He stuck around through the coaching change, and is intent on finishing things up in a Wildcats uniform. Hopefully, he’ll get a chance to record some numbers this time around.
