Levi Williams played a pivotal role in Utah State's victory over New Mexico last week, scoring a crucial 13-yard touchdown on a disrupted play. This win secured the Aggies' spot in a bowl game for the third year in a row.
However, Williams has broader aspirations beyond football. On Monday, he announced his decision to forego his final year of college football eligibility in favor of pursuing training to become a U.S. Navy SEAL.
"I love football and it’s so great. But I knew that, eventually, it was going to come to an end," Williams said to KSL Sports Zone.
"I just want to be in a spot where I can protect this great country where we get to play football with the freedom to do that. I think this is the best country in the world. So I’d like to keep it that way and protect it as long as I can."
Williams, who is a junior quarterback already possessing a college degree, aims to uphold his family's tradition of military service. The selection process for his military training is set to begin in February, with the actual training scheduled to commence in the summer.
"It’s always been in my heart my entire life. My mom was Army. My grandparents were Army and Navy," he told The Athletic. "People in the military are always what I want to emulate, because they’re some of the best people, best teams on the planet."
Williams transferred to Utah State after spending three years at Wyoming, completing his move in 2021. His appearances for the Aggies in the 2022 and 2023 seasons were limited, but he seized his opportunity to make an impact last Friday.
In that game, Williams completed 16 out of 27 passes, accumulating 198 yards and scoring two passing touchdowns. He also added three rushing touchdowns to his performance. His efforts were instrumental in Utah State's 44-41 victory.
