Quite an accomplishment. Good for him.

Not bad for a little school like West to have a player on Ohio State and Michigan State.

Thats Great. I hope he does good and maybe he can earn a full ride.

Congrats to Levi that is a graet accomplishment.

Congratulations, Levi! Prefered walk-on, with his first year payed for academically. Will be great for West, to see him and Trevon, play against each other. I know they're young, and have to earn playing time. But getting on the team, is an accomplishment, in it's self. Keep up the hard work, you both have already made us proud!

Awesome! He looks alot better in Scarlet and Gray than he did Black and Orange! Good to see another local kid playing bigtime football.

LOL :aaaaa8

He's got a lot of work to do if he wants playing time. Also, from things I have seen and heard, he needs to change his attitude towards other people if he wants to make it on a D-I team.

[Black@Orange]

Buckeye24, I hope your just a jealous kid, and not a jealous adult. Anyone who knows Levi, knows he's got a great attitude. And is very coachable. What exactly have you seen him do???

No jealousy here at all. Why would there be? I'm glad to see someone from the West side make a name for themselves. All I'm saying is he needs to improve on these things to get somewhere. I apologize if you think I'm purposefully diminishing his reputation. I'm not going to post stuff on here and ruin his reputation, but from what I have heard, he has room for improvement. I want to see West Portsmouth represented well.

Maybe you should reread your posts before you try and defend yourself. Maybe it's just me but this looks like you purposly took a shot at his character and now your trying to two step out of the backlash that is coming. The West Side defends there own and so dont be surprised if this aint the last comment about your post!

I could really care less about people attacking me on the internet. If that's all they have to do with their life, that's fine. If he doesn't want to improve his character, that's fine. But when I hear multiple people talking negatively about him, he's rubbing somebody the wrong way. That's his problem, not mine. If he wants to have success at the D-1 level, he can't be the kind of guy that people are going to go around and talk bad about.

Buckeye24 I am not attacking you but I would have to say the people that say negative things about Levi and his character does not know him. Levi was academic all-state last season, him and teammate Kyle Auger were the only two in Scioto county to achieve those honors. Levi was a three year starter at qb for us he was a pretty darn good player for us in those years. But with that being said one of his best attributes is his character he is a top notch youngman if you could sit and talk to Levi or watch how he is with other people especially with kids you would be impressed. Thats why you will probably see several comments from Westsiders because we do stick together and we are very proud of Levi and his character.

[Bleeding Red]

His attitude and character must be pretty good if you ask me, and I dont even know the kid.

I say that because in D1 sports of any kind talent is a dime a dozen and bad attitudes/not coachable kids arent tolerated for a second because there is someone right behind them that is just as good.

Obviously people making millions of dollars to coach these kids saw something in him. Who are the internet has beens to judge that?

Now Red you know there is no color combination better than orange and black, well maybe camo.

[Buckeye24]

Anyway, congrats to Levi. Hopefully he can make the Westside proud.

[nutronron2012]

There are alot of kids who have made the West side proud. Forget about Pendleton? He's still at Michigan State. He's a fine young man also.

Black and Orange is Horrible (unless its Halloween) Just kidding. Purple and Gold would look better, but scarlet and grey runs close.

See if he was from Minford, he would have looked stylish all along....
