It appears that Will Stein‘s 2026 Kentucky football coaching staff is now complete. ESPN’s Pete Thamel reports that coaching veteran Parker Fleming will make the move to Lexington in 2026 to coach the Wildcats’ special teams and inside wide receivers.

Fleming has coached at four different schools. Three of them were in this year’s CFP.

He got his start as a GA at Ohio State, then spent a couple of years coaching wide receivers at James Madison. Throughout his career, he’s either handled special teams, wide receivers, or both.
