Kentucky quarterback Will Levis is showcasing his skills at the 2023 NFL Combine.
When asked why he has decided to throw at the Combine, a confident Levis said:
“Cause I got a cannon and I’m gonna show it off.”

Here are three things to know about 23-year-old Levis.
1. He Started His College Career At Penn State
Levis redshirted at Penn State in 2018 and served as Sean Clifford’s backup for the 2019 and 2020 seasons.
He played in 14 games starting in two of them.
His combined passing and rushing yardage at Penn State was over 1,000 yards and he threw three touchdowns and rushed for six touchdowns.
Levis earned his undergraduate degree in finance from Penn State in May 2021.
There is no ill will because of the transfer; Levis only has the finest things to say about Penn State.
About his PSU experience, Levis said:
“I learned that sometimes things don’t go your way… Nothing but love for all the coaches and all the players at Penn State. I wouldn’t trade that time for anything.”

2. After His Transfer To Kentucky, He Immediately Became QB1
So since we only see the negatives about Will Levis on here, I figured I’d post probably his best highlight/game- Louisville 2021
Looks he has skills an awful like a QB that just competed in the Super Bowl
Would probably look really good in Steichen Offense. pic.twitter.com/JTg4UBgVsn
