Will Levis returning to Kentucky football for 2022 season instead of entering NFL draft

LEXINGTON - Will Levis channeled his inner Arnold Schwarzenegger to announce his return to Kentucky football Monday night.

The UK quarterback tweeted a short clip from The Terminator in which Schwarzenegger delivered his iconic line: "I'll be back." A UK spokeswoman confirmed that message was Levis announcing he plans to play for the Wildcats next season.

Levis recently told reporters earlier this month he had submitted paperwork with the NFL to be evaluated as a possible early entrant in the 2022 draft. The Athletic recently raked Levis as the No. 7 quarterback prospect among draft-eligible players.
