Levi Lewis, Louisiana
If you like sleepers, Lewis might be your guy. The lefty is a skilled runner and scrambler, but his seismic leap as a passer last season was an eye-opener. He only stands 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds but unleashed some Michael Vick-like throws with easy flicks of his wrist in 2019.
Lewis also is careful with the football, throwing only four INTs last season and seven in his career (on 491 pass attempts). The Ragin’ Cajuns’ offense was built around the run game of Trey Ragas and Elijah Mitchell, developing play-action possibilities galore off of that.
Lewis must take another step in his development. Will he get the chance this season? The Sun Belt remains in limbo, but going forth could offer Lewis a chance to duel with Iowa State and Brock Purdy in the season opener.
Being lefty and undersized will limit Lewis’ mass appeal. But his intriguing skill set warrants a longer look.
