Wan'Dale Robinson was still getting to know Will Levis during Kentucky's first summer scrimmage of 2021. Both were transfers - Robinson a wide receiver from Nebraska, and Levis a quarterback from Penn State.

Levis' strong arm had made an impression, but since the passer was still working with the second- and third-stringers, Robinson didn't know much else about him.

The design called for a play-action shot down the sideline to Robinson, and it required a big arm to get the football over the top. Fast-forward about 15 seconds to sheer magic: The pair connected on a 75-yard touchdown bomb, signaling the start of something special in Lexington.

"There's nothing like (his arm)," Robinson told me. "In practice, I was like: 'What in the world?' Coach (Mark) Stoops came over and said: 'That's your quarterback.'"

"We already kind of knew, but when he made that throw and hit Wan'Dale in the bucket, it was over," Liam Coen, Kentucky's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach that season, told me.

It didn't take long for Stoops to officially designate the Penn State transfer as his starter. Nor did it take long for Levis to showcase his immense talent, raw athleticism, and untapped potential.
