Former Kentucky QB Will Levis Donates $1.74, Calls Himself a ‘Die-Hard Wildcat’
Lexington, KY – April 25, 2025 — In a move that sparked both laughs and love across Big Blue Nation, former Kentucky quarterback and current NFL signal-caller Will Levis announced a humorous donation of $1.74 to the University of Kentucky, proudly declaring himself a “die-hard Wildcat for life.”
Levis, known for his strong arm and quirky personality — including his viral mayonnaise-in-coffee moment — made the announcement on social media, posting a screenshot of the donation receipt with the caption: “Every dollar counts. #BBN4Life”.
The $1.74 amount quickly caught fans’ attention. Some speculated it was a nod to his jersey number or a symbolic gesture tied to a specific moment in his college career, while others embraced it as just another classic Levis joke.
“Will’s always had a unique way of showing love,” said one fan on X (formerly Twitter). “This is peak Levis energy — and honestly, I respect it.”
Levis played for Kentucky from 2021 to 2022, where he led the Wildcats to consecutive bowl appearances and quickly became a fan favorite for his toughness and leadership. Now a member of the Tennessee Titans, he remains closely connected to the Lexington community and often returns to support UK athletics.
UK Athletics issued a playful thank-you post in response, saying:
“Thank you, @Will_Levis, for your generosity and Wildcat pride. We’ll put every cent to good use. #OnceAWildcatAlwaysAWildcat”
Though the donation may not break fundraising records, it reinforced Levis’s unshakable bond with the program and fans. For Big Blue Nation, the gesture — however small in dollars
