ATLANTA — The SEC in 2022 is not without excellent quarterbacks. Alabama’s Bryce Young. Tennessee’s Hendon Hooker. Georgia’s Stetson Bennett. Arkansas’ KJ Jefferson. None, however, not even Young, returning Heisman Trophy winner, has felt the summer spotlight quite like Kentucky’s Will Levis.
Such was Wednesday’s backdrop as the Wildcats’ signal-caller arrived at the College Football Hall of Fame for the SEC Football Media Days, front and center for those curious about the prospect many NFL scouts believe is a potential first-round pick in next year’s draft. Even the first overall pick.
“I try not to pay too much attention to it,” Levis said during a meeting with the Kentucky media inside the Omni Hotel. “It’s impossible for me not to see it. And it’s cool. I acknowledge it. My family will send it to me and it’s cool for them, as well.”
