Can confirm Stoops will name Penn State transfer Will Levis the Week 1 starter. OC Liam Coen has believed in Levis from the jump. Early camp only reinforced it.

Levis appeared in 14 games between the 2019-20 season with the Nittany Lions. He completed 61 of 102 passes for 644 yards, 3 TDs, and 2 interceptions. He also rushed for 473 yards and 6 touchdowns while at Penn State.
It will be interesting to see how Levis fares in his time with the Wildcats.
