- Get to know the Kentucky football roster: No. 96 Dominic Wiseman
We are counting down the days until the start of the 2026 Kentucky Wildcats football season, and profiling the players that make up the roster along the way. There are 96 days remaining until game one, and wearing No. 96 for the Cats this season will be defensive lineman Dominic Wiseman .
Like defensive end Tyler Thomas , Wiseman transferred to Kentucky this offseason from South Alabama. He spent one year there after playing for two seasons at Iowa Western Community College. He played well at both previous stops.

Last season, the 6'2", 298 lb Wiseman played in 11 games, and made six starts. He was credited with 23 total tackles, 3 tackles for a loss, and 1 sack. He also forced a fumble. At Iowa Western, he totaled 8 sacks and 17 tackles for a loss across his two seasons.
Heading into the season, Wiseman is set to provide depth on the defensive interior. He's not likely to start unless there's an injury, but he should figure into the rotation, and see some time on the field. He was a three-star recruit out of high school who's looking to reach his potential. Hopefully, Will Stein can help him reach it.
