Kentucky’s quarterback competition came to a conclusion earlier than expected when Mark Stoops announced Sunday night that Will Levis will be the Wildcats’ game one starter. Throughout his nine-year tenure, Stoops usually gives the quarterbacks more time to battle in the preseason. This year Levis was a cut above Joey Gatewood and Beau Allen.
“They all have done some really good things throughout camp, but this was clear,” Stoops said in an impromptu Sunday night press conference.
After the first scrimmage Levis was at the top of the depth chart, with Gatewood and Allen tied for second.
