Will Levis better remember to pack his whistle.

The Kentucky Football quarterback is set to attend the 2022 Manning Passing Academy, scheduled for June 23-26, as a camp counselor. Levis is one of 32 college QBs invited to this summer’s camp. The Manning Passing Academy was founded by college football Hall of Famer Archie Manning and has been training the next generation of gridiron stars for over 25 years.

Of course, Archie’s Super Bowl-winning sons Peyton and Eli Manning will be in attendance as “senior associate directors”. The camp will be held at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, LA.

The Manning Passing Academy prides itself on not just being a camp designed for quarterbacks. Players of all positions are encouraged to attend. The camp is built on the idea of adapting the “5 Pillars of Strength”, which include being physically strong, mentally strong, emotionally strong, spiritually strong, and fundamentally strong.

It shouldn’t be a shock to see Levis invited to help teach football’s youth under the Mannings. His draft stock has soared over recent weeks and there is serious talk of him as a potential top 10 pick in 2023 and even a darkhorse Heisman candidate as he enters his senior year at Kenucky. The two quarterbacks who will be in the same discussion as Levis, Bryce Young (Alabama) and CJ Stroud (Ohio State) were also invited to the camp as counselors.
