College Quarterback Leaves the Field Early to Pursue Becoming a Navy SEAL

A college football player is leaving college, his team, and the field behind to pursue becoming a Navy SEAL. Utah State quarterback Levi Williams shared this decision during a live radio interview on a Salt Lake station. 

“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,” Williams told KSL 97.5 FM. “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 was instrumental in his team making it to the College Football Bowl Games, will finish his Junior year and this season out before taking the qualifying fitness test for the Navy SEAL Teams. 

Passing the challenging fitness test will be just the beginning for Levi. Naval Special Warfare Preparatory School is also known as Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL training and is notorious for its dropout rate.  

Williams said he is following in the footsteps of his family’s military service. He chose the Navy SEALs because of the tightness and loyalty of these units, explaining, “What I love about their ethos and their motto is that no one guy is better than the other,” Williams said. “It takes all of them to complete a mission.

Levi Williams’ announcement and example is coming at a time when Americans are relentlessly besieged by anti-American rhetoric from our own citizens. Recruitment levels in at least one branch is so low, the military is practically begging those it kicked out for not taking the vaccine, to come back. Williams’ story is a much-needed surge of patriotism and heroism at a time when Americans need a morale boost. 

We wish Levi all the best, and we thank him in advance for his service.
