Will Levis meets with every athlete at Tennessee Special Olympics Summer Games
The Tennessee Special Olympics Summer Games were held on Friday and Saturday, with over 800 athletes competing. Also in attendance was Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis.
Levis, who was selected by the Titans in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, was there to support those athletes competing. He was there as early as the opening ceremony when the athletes walked in while Levis watched with a pom pom in his hand and high-fiving the competitors. Later, he stayed to meet with the athletes.
You can watch the video of Will Levis meeting with every athlete at the Tennessee Special Olympic Summer Games, here:
In the video, Will Levis can be seen shaking hands, taking photos, signing autographs, and having conversations with various athletes at the games. He seems to make sure to give time to everyone individually and the athletes are clearly excited to see him.
Another video shared from the Special Olympics showed Will Levis working a slingshot along with volunteers to fire t-shirts into the crowd. He also took to the stage and spoke to the audience and athletes, calling for the powerlifters to show off as he flexed at them and for the swimmers as he pretended to swim.
“I’m very happy to be here now in Nashville,” Levis also said.
The Special Olympics Tennessee is an organization that has the mission of providing sports training and competitions for children and adults who have intellectual disabilities. The Summer Games, which were held at Lipscomb University & Centennial Sportsplex in Nashville, saw athletes compete in six sports — Track & Field, Bocce, Powerlifting, Aquatics, Pickleball, and Volleyball.

Special Olympics Tennessee took to social media. There, they thanked Will Levis for his appearance at the event.
“Big thanks to @Titans quarterback Will Levis for cheering on our athletes during State Summer Games Opening Ceremonies,” the organization posted.
As a rookie in 2023, Will Levis played in nine games, starting all nine of those appearances. He completed 58.4 percent of passes for 1,808 yards and eight touchdowns to four interceptions. He also rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown. Now, he’s looking to take a step forward on the field in his second season with a new coaching staff coming to the Titans.
Off the field, Levis is clearly making a good impression on the Nashville community, coming out to events like the Special Olympics and celebrating those athletes competing there too.
