09/07/20 - QB Levi Lewis, rSr/2022, Louisiana

With a presence that inspires others to constantly be at their best, Levi Lewis does what any good leader should. UL's senior starting quarterback gets those around him to follow. But what separates Lewis from others? It may be the buy-in from those under his command. "Levi is the most-confident (person) I know on the team," Ragin' Cajuns running back Trey Ragas said. "The most hard-working person I know on the team. "So, with him, I know he's going to take this year very serious and he's going to give us his all." Which motivates his Cajun teammates to do the same as they prepare to open their 2020 season Saturday morning at No. 25 Iowa State. Yet for the product of Baton Rouge's Scotlandville Magnet High, there wasn't always a two-way sense of certainty.

"The first year," said Rob Sale, who came in as UL's offensive line coach and offensive coordinator at the same time Billy Napier took over as head coach of the Cajuns prior to the 2018 season, "it kind of felt like (a) he-was-looking-at-us and we-were-looking-at him type deal." Lewis merely threw for 3,050 yards with a 64.3 completion percentage (243-for-378) and 26 touchdowns last season, when UL went 11-3, made it to its second straight Sun Belt Conference championship game and beat Miami (Ohio) of the MAC at the LendingTree Bowl in Mobile. The 3,050 yards and 26 TD throws both were school records, and now Lewis is on national preseason watch lists for major awards including the Davey O'Brien, the Maxwell, the Manning and the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm. - Daily Advertiser
