LOOK: Kentucky quarterback Will Levis and Triple H together at NIL Summit
The NIL Summit has brought the biggest names in college sports and the business world together. WWE COO Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque wasted no time seeking college football’s most entertaining quarterback – Kentucky‘s Will Levis.
Levis entertains over 100,000 fans on TikTok on a regular basis, but most infamously ate a banana with the peel still on it. The video became synonymous with Levis throughout the season and fans started recording themselves eating whole bananas on game day and wearing full-body banana costumes to football games (even at basketball games, too).
He would later go viral with another ridiculous food video – mayonnaise in coffee.
The trends would be featured on SEC Network and College GameDay, where on-air personalities would recreate the banana and coffee mayonnaise-eating videos for the entertainment of the live crowd and those watching around the country.
So, of course Triple H wants to speak to Levis. Fans love him – he’s naturally entertaining and would fit in perfectly in the professional wrestling scene. Just don’t let Vince McMahon ahold of his TikTok or he’ll give Levis a banana-themed gimmick and make him eat odd food combinations every week on Monday Night Raw.
Will Levis calls out Kentucky fans doubting ahead of the 2022 season
After throwing for 24 touchdowns and nearly 3,000 yards, Kentucky quarterback Will Levis is back in the saddle for his senior season in Lexington. With preseason mock drafts tabbing him as a potential first-round pick, there’s a lot at stake this season for Levis. To him, though, it’s all about accomplishing the Wildcat program’s goals this season.
In an appearance on Pardon My Take’s takeover of Kentucky Sports Radio this week, Levis says one of those goals is an SEC Championship.
“That’s the goal,” said Levis. “That’s what our hearts are set on and that’s what’s been established from day one of the offseason.”
It’s safe to say Kentucky would have their fair share of doubters on the way to achieving that. The Wildcats haven’t won the conference crown this century and the path to doing so isn’t getting any easier. Even fans of the program are skeptical about the Wildcat’s chances to even get to Atlanta. For Levis, he’s happy to take the extra motivation.
“The fans who say that we’re not going to be as good as last year, that we’re lacking leadership from a senior standpoint. I’m definitely going to be stepping in and making sure I’m the guy for the team,” he said. “We definitely have other guys that can do that. But, hey, motivation, especially from our fans who are doubting us, is as much motivation that we can get.”
