The quirky viral video aside, Levis brought the goods on the field.
Levis had a handful of touchdowns in his two seasons at Penn State (6 rushing, three passing) but he transferred to Kentucky to be a full-time starter and he proved the Wildcats made the right decision by welcoming him in with a fantastic performance.
He completed 69.2 percent of his throws with 367 yards, four touchdowns, one interception, and a whopping 15.5 in the air yards per attempt category.
Levis was dealing in this game deep downfield, and was getting Wan’Dale Robinson (Nebraska transfer) heavily involved as well.

This was just an impressive overall outing and debut at Kentucky for Levis.
The folks at Pro Football Focus really liked his performance in this game and as the season progresses, expectations will be adjusted and Levis will have an opportunity to really put his name on the 2022 NFL Draft map.
For now, consider everyone’s interest piqued.
