Will Levis, the former Kentucky Wildcats quarterback, recently returned to the practice fields in Lexington, reconnecting with his former teammates, including tight ends Brenden Bates and Josh Kattus. This reunion comes as a celebration for Bates, who is getting married this weekend, and it provided an opportunity for the players to catch up and train together.
Levis, who missed the entire 2025 season due to shoulder surgery, is now set to begin his fourth year in the NFL as the QB2 in Tennessee, behind Cam Ward. His return to Kentucky, however, was not just about catching up with old friends. Levis showed off his throwing prowess, connecting with Key and Kattus, who were freshmen pass-catchers in 2022. During that season, they combined for 40 passes, 644 yards, and six touchdowns, demonstrating their potential as a dynamic duo.
Key, a Lexington native, set a freshman record with 519 receiving yards and has since transferred to Nebraska. Despite this move, his career receiving yards of 1,870 rank fifth in the Kentucky football record book. Key's success continued as he signed a three-year UDFA deal with the Denver Broncos, joining his brother, Devon Key, at training camp this summer.
The article also mentions the potential for Levis to become a trade asset if he can stay healthy and perform well. With his favorite pass-catcher, Wan'Dale Robinson, in Nashville, Levis has a strong connection to the team.
