Will Levis is a 69 OVR in Madden (and more Kentucky ratings)

What can you expect from Madden 24 when the popular video game series hits the physical and digital shelves next month? For starters, 25 former Kentucky Wildcats will be playable characters — the most ever at the time of release.

Among them? Rookie gunslinger Will Levis, set to compete for with second-year quarterback Malik Willis for the backup spot with the Tennessee Titans. You can virtually plug him in as a starter, though, in the upcoming Madden game with a rating of 69 overall — fourth-most among rookie QBs.

He sits behind Bryce Young of the Carolina Panthers (74 overall), CJ Stroud of the Houston Texans (73 overall) and Anthony Richardson of the Indianapolis Colts (70 overall).

Levis does come in at No. 7 overall in the entire game, however, in terms of arm strength — he earned a 94 grade there, behind only Josh Allen (99), Patrick Mahomes (97), Justin Herbert (96), Richardson (95), Willis (94) and Baker Mayfield (94).

Accuracy, obviously, is where Levis saw his ratings take a hit. He failed to eclipse the 80-overall mark in Short Throw Accuracy (79), Medium Throw Accuracy (73), Deep Throw Accuracy (79), Play Action (78) and Throw On The Run (79). Where he thrives in power, he falls short in touch.
