All eyes were on Will Levis and his family during the first night of the 2023 NFL Draft.
The former Kentucky quarterback — whose odds to go No. 1 rose days before the draft — slipped down the board Thursday to the surprise of many.
But Levis isn’t the only one in his family who stirred buzz on social media.
In fact, Levis’ sister Kelley garnered plenty of attention when the cameras captured her sitting in the green room with the NFL prospect at Kansas City’s iconic Union Station.
Kelley is a member of the Alpha Phi sorority at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, according to her Instagram — which states in her bio that she is based in the family’s native Connecticut and Wisconsin.
The siblings appear to be very close and have two other sisters: Jill and Claire Levis.
In January 2022, Kelley shared a collage of photos that showed the sisters hugging Levis on the sidelines at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, where the Wildcats defeated the Iowa Hawkeyes, 20-17.
Jill is a midfielder on the women’s lacrosse team at Central Connecticut State and is on track to graduate in 2023.
Claire, meanwhile, is a member of the Nor’easter Lacrosse club based in New Haven, Connecticut.
The Levis family became a trending topic on Twitter throughout the first night of the draft as the quarterback slid out of the opening round.
The 23-year-old was seen checking his phone on a number of occasions as his family rallied around him.
Levis’s girlfriend, influencer Gia Duddy, was also present at the draft and looked stunning in a red off-the-shoulder dress.
In another awkward moment, Levis joked about being a second-round pick prior to the first night of the draft.
“If I get invited, and if I know I’ll be a pretty high pick, I’ll definitely go,” Levis said at his press conference before Kentucky’s pro day. “I’m looking forward to going.
“But I don’t want to go if I could be, like, a second-round pick, you know. You don’t want to have the camera on you all day.”
Levis had 16-1 odds to go No. 1 entering his pro day at Kentucky.
He got all the way down to 40-1 on the first day of the draft.
The Texans and Colts were believed to be high on Levis, but instead took C.J. Stroud (Ohio) at No. 2, and Anthony Richardson (Florida) fourth overall, respectively.
Levis visited eight teams before the draft: the Panthers, Texans, Colts, Raiders, Titans, Buccaneers, Falcons, and Patriots.
According to ESPN Analytics, there was a 92 percent chance that Levis was going to be picked in the top 10.
He recorded 43 total touchdowns at Kentucky, 5th in Wildcats’ program history.
