Kentucky quarterback Will Levis says he has a lot to be thankful for and it starts with his faith.

“Thankful for my relationship with God first and foremost. I mean, it’s something that I have made a point of emphasis for me in my life throughout the season,” Levis said.

“Just something that I’m able to always turn to and improve and at the end of the day, no matter how hard things get, just know that it all comes down to me serving him and knowing that I’m making him proud no matter what I do. So that’s what I’d say first and foremost.”

He’s just as thankful for his family.

“Obviously, since I’ve been playing college football, I haven’t been able to spend many Thanksgivings with them, but I have such great memories with them on my Thanksgiving in years past,” Levis said.

“I’m upset that I can’t spend it with them again, but I signed up for it. So, you know, so hoping they have a good Thanksgiving. Thankful for all the sacrifices they’ve made for me.”

Finally, he’s thankful for where he is now.

“Thankful for Kentucky for welcoming me into open arms and giving me an opportunity to shine,” the Penn State transfer said. “And I just can’t thank the community, the town, the program enough for everything they’ve done for me so far.

“But the job’s not over.”

Kentucky closes the regular season Saturday night at Louisville.
