To participate in the Fan Vote, fans must “like” the original post highlighting their favorite quarterback on the official @DaveyOBrien social media channels.

Levis, a 6-foot-3, 232-pound quarterback from Madison, Connecticut, has started in all seven games for the Wildcats, helping lead UK to a No. 12 national ranking and a 6-1 overall record, including a 4-1 mark in league play. The Wildcats are also bowl-eligible for a school record sixth-straight season. His pass efficiency rating of 147.6 rating points is the highest for a UK starting quarterback since Andre’ Woodson in the 2006 season. He currently ranks seventh in the SEC in passing touchdowns (13) and is 10th in passing yards per game (189.4) and total offense (214.4 yards per game).

With starting lineups available since 1993, Levis is the first quarterback since that time to win his first six starts.

After a much-needed bye week, Kentucky hits the road again Saturday, Oct. 30 to take on Mississippi State in Starkville, Mississippi. Kickoff at Davis Wade Stadium is set for 7 p.m. EDT on SEC Network and the UK Sports Radio Network.
