A new era of Kentucky football: Devin Leary seeks to fill massive shoes left by Will Levis

This college football season, the Kentucky Wildcats have a new signal caller under center after two seasons of Will Levis at the helm.

Levis was beloved by Big Blue Nation and is recognized as one of the college’s greatest quarterbacks in recent memory. This culminated in Levis being selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans in April.

As such, the 2023 season begins a new era in Lexington.

Former NC State quarterback Devin Leary was picked up via the transfer portal. Interestingly, Leary was widely regarded as the best quarterback in the portal despite only playing six games last season due to a season-ending shoulder injury against Florida State.
