LEXINGTON, Ky. — Less than two years before he would become one of the most talked about players in the 2023 NFL draft class, Will Levis found himself in a surprising spot during his first Kentucky football training camp.
The third-team offense.
“We had two guys for six days of practice taking reps that they had no business taking,” Kentucky offensive coordinator Liam Coen said in a one-on-one interview with the Lexington Herald-Leader about the early days of the Levis era. “What was really cool was the guys around, both offense and defense, they were the ones that started to say, ‘Hey Coach, when are you guys going to do this? When are we going to make the move?’ That’s how you wanted it to happen, for everybody else to see it.”
