Somebody give this guy a medal! Admirable!
Levi Williams, the quarterback of Utah State, has decided to leave the sport of college football to run the beaches as a Navy SEAL, KSL Sports reported.

But despite his success, my man has zero interest in playing college football for another season. Rather, he’s walking away from the gridiron to become a Navy SEAL, according to KSL Sports.
“I love football and it’s so great. But I knew that, eventually, it was going to come to an end,” Williams told KSL Sports Zone’s Hans & Scotty when talking about his move. “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.”
Levi Williams is scheduled to start the selection process in February.
