Former Wildcat commits to Western Kentucky

Former Elgin High School standout Dylan Owens announced his commitment to Western Kentucky University July 19, choosing the Hilltoppers over offers from other Division I programs including University of Texas at San Antonio, Jacksonville State University and New Mexico State University.

Owens spent his first two varsity seasons as a Wildcat, where he starred at quarterback and established himself as one of the area’s top dual-threat athletes. He made the transition from quarterback to wide receiver after transferring to Hutto before the 2025 season, a position change that would prove fruitful immediately.

Owens quickly became a divisional threat and a leading pass catcher in Central Texas.
