BOWLING GREEN, KY — Former San Angelo Central star quarterback Maverick McIvor had a sensational debut Saturday in his first game at his new college, Western Kentucky.
McIvor threw for 401 yards and three touchdowns on 33-of-51 passing, and he added a rushing TD in the Hilltoppers’ 41-24 win over Sam Houston State.
McIvor is playing his senior season at Western Kentucky after transferring from Abilene Christian University, where he led the Wildcats last year to their first-ever conference championship at the NCAA Division I FCS level.
He threw for 3,828 passing yards and 30 TDs with seven interceptions while completing 63% of his passes.
McIvor entered the transfer portal after the season and was also offered by Wake Forest, North Texas and Miami (Ohio).
He settled on Western Kentucky, which went 8-6 last year. The Hilltoppers compete in Conference USA.
After a breakout junior season in high school at San Angelo Central — in which he threw for 3,415 yards and 43 TDs, while rushing for 870 yards in 12 games — he was offered scholarships by more than 20 NCAA Division I schools.
He signed with Texas Tech but was injured in a preseason practice in 2019 and never saw game action.
McIvor finally returned to the field in 2022 after transferring to ACU.
Western Kentucky will play again at 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 30, against North Alabama.
