The Davey O’Brien Foundation, which hands out the oldest and most prestigious college quarterback award, is high on Kentucky QB Will Levis.

On Tuesday, it was announced that Levis was tabbed to the Davey O’Brien Quarterback Class of 2022. Now in his second season with the Wildcats, he was also named to the Davey O’Brien Quarterback Class of 2021. Already this season, Levis has made watch lists for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm, Manning Award, the Walter Camp Player of the Year, the Maxwell Award, the CFPA National Performer of the Year, and the Reese’s Senior Bowl.
