Could UK’s Will Levis win the Heisman Trophy? A sportsbook sets the odds.

DraftKing’s Sportsbook is out with its odds for this year’s Heisman Trophy and Kentucky quarterback Will Levis is on the list.

The senior signal-caller is a long shot, but he is among the 21 players listed by the sportsbook, according to BetKentucky.com.

Here’s the list with the moneyline odds:

  • CJ Stroud, QB, Ohio State +250
  • Bryce Young, QB, Alabama +350
  • Caleb Williams, QB, USC +900
  • Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas +2000
  • DJ Uiagalelei, QB, Clemson +2800
  • Dillon Gabriel, QB, Oklahoma +3000
  • Jaxon Smith-Njibai, WR, Ohio State +3000
  • Tyler Van Dyke, QB, Miami +3500
  • Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss +3500
  • Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida +4000
  • Kedon Slovis, QB, Pittsburgh +4000
  • TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State +4000
  • Spencer Rattler, QB, South Carolina +4000
  • William Anderson, EDGE, Alabama +4000
  • Sam Hartman, QB, Wake Forest +5000
  • Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas +5000
  • Bo Nix, QB, Oregon +5000
  • KJ Jefferson, QB, Arkansas +6000
  • Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama +6000

One interesting note is that among the quarterbacks on the list, seven are transfers in their first season at their new school. Those are Williams, Gabriel, Dart, Slovis, Rattler, Ewers and Nix.

A transfer from Penn State, Levis passed for 2,826 yards with 24 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in leading the Wildcats to a 10-3 record last season.
