It is what he said when he came here. It is what he said when a decision was being made by HUD as to whether to redshirt him his freshmen year. He did not redshirt as there was going to be no benefit to redshirting a player that was going to be here only 3 years. Things can change, but I have not heard anything otherwise from Levi.

I had taken that as he would be gone in 4 years instead of 5 if he had redshirted

If he graduates in 3 years in civil engineering then that would be very impressive

Is he in engineering? If that is the case, then he will be here for 4 years no matter what he says.

What is his major?

He's are target to graduate in the spring.

Hopefully he can get a grad transfer scholarship to GT or Illinois a free Master's degree from one of those schools he would be set up for life

Why did we change the punt returner?

I sure liked Calais back there.

Last time I remember seeing Calais back there was when Hud was here and it didn't last long. I don't remember him at punt returner for Napier. I'm old, so I could be wrong on that.

Old 🚫= wrong

[Rainman66]

As I am 'between opportunities' right now, I have quite a bit of time on my hands. As such, I went through every box score for the last four years and I now must admit I was wrong about Calais. It turns out that the next punt return he has for the Cajuns will be his first.

What is his major?

According to the commentary during the game, Civil Engineering.

I don't agree that Broadway was not as good taking care of the ball as Levi. You may be speaking of picks vs fumbles however. One thing that is overlooked is that some of our successful running plays are because of the calls Levi makes at the line. Coach Napier has mentioned at QB Club meetings that having a QB as smart as Levi is a real factor in making this offense go. I share the downfield passing concerns CajunT has mentioned but we are doing a good job of overcoming that limitation to date.

Broadway should not be included in that list of names. His stats and QB performance was good, mainly before he hurt his arm. Many people have those downfield passing concerns.

[Cajun90]

Levi obviously has a good head on his shoulders. I think Jerry Babb may be the only other QB that we've had who has pursued an Engineering degree while also putting in the time to play football.

Brian Mitchell also was in engineering at UL. Don't believe he earned his degree but Mitchell was recruited by the likes of Stanford out of high school because of his academics.

This is a good point I hadn't really considered. We all agree that the strength of this team is the running game and having a QB that can get us into the correct running play is a big plus.

I would be interested to know if Napier thinks this is just a function of study time and experience for the other QBs on the roster. If so, outside of leadership, this would be the best explanation of why Napier believes LL is the best option at this time that I have heard.
