Nochta Takes Over as Kentucky’s New GM | Cincinnati News

Kentucky football just made a major front-office move, promoting Pete Nochta to general manager — a role he was already helping fill as assistant GM since December. Hired by new head coach Will Stein, Nochta brings deep program knowledge and a proven recruiting track record from his 10 years at Louisville, including four as director of recruiting. His promotion follows the unexpected exit of previous GM Pat Biondo, and Athletic Director J Batt praised Nochta’s foundational work. With full control over personnel, recruiting, and roster management, Nochta is poised to be a key architect in building Kentucky’s championship future under Stein — a move that feels both strategic and personal, given their college days together.
