Kaiya Sheron to start in place of injured Will Levis, per report

After news broke on Wednesday that Will Levis could potentially miss Saturday’s game against South Carolina, all eyes shifted to the injury report awaiting his status.

Just ahead of game time, we now know that Levis will sit out tonight against the Gamecocks. The projected first-rounder suffered a lower-leg injury during the Kentucky Wildcats’ 22-19 loss in Oxford a week ago.

With Levis out, redshirt freshman Kaiya Sheron will make his first collegiate start, according to ESPN and KSR.

The 6-foot-3, 210 pound QB from Somerset will get his first opportunity to run the Wildcat offense against a conference foe at home.
