I wonder if Levi has second thoughts about sitting out this season?

DerekJohnson

It would be lots of fun to be 4-0 heading down to Autzen Stadium.

It would be hard not to. He had already decided to come back for his senior season like Molden, so it’s not a question that he had wanted to play.

But I’m sure he wasn’t sure if the season would actually be be played. High draft stock, season in question, possible start and stop with injury, not being sure what the Pac-12 would ultimately do. That’s tough on a young person.

Just to be clear, I'm not judging him. Just wondering if he's thinking "fuck, I'd love to be out there"

Swaye

He made the right call. Putting any faith in Larry Scott to not fuck it up would have been the stupid decision. Now that they are playing he probably wishes he was out there, but he made the right call with the info available at the tim.

FireCohen

Feel bad for him, he is poised to have a good senior season. Would have helped his draft stock a lot compared to Tryon who will test well

He had a couple family members get covid and they couldn’t pay the bills.

I think it’s lip service. Sounds good on Instagram or Twitter though.

He was probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite player on the team. Seemed like a great guy, one of the more energetic players in the Pete era, and was really well liked by teammates. Unfortunately, I think this defense and his skills/charisma would have been a perfect match and his draft stock would have gone way up, but I agree with @Swaye that he made the right choice at the time.

I think his game translates well to the NFL, so I hope he has a nice career.

Shut up.

The CBS mock draft published yesterday has him going 17th overall to the Raiders. That seems too high, but it is supposed to be a weak year for DTs.

Early mock drafts probably favor guys who opted out because people haven't watched as much tape on guys still playing

I agree, and was surprised to see him there. I think he's probably a mid 2nd to 3rd rounder, but I hope this mock is right and I'm wrong.

Would have been a lot of fun to watch Tyron and Levi with this defense, bummer that has been taken from us and them. No blame, 2020 just sucks.

I envision him more as a 4-3 DE and 3T on obvious passing downs kind of guy at the NFL level.

Very little chance he's playing DE at 293. You think he's slimming down a bunch?

I know UW's weights tend to be more accurate than most, but he's never looked that heavy to me. Also, yeah. 4-3 ends can be right up there close to 300. He's definitely quick and explosive enough.

Kingdome_Urinals

Long arms. That's his best trait. Active with good reach. UW doesn't have a guy like that anymore.

Levi vs Gaines who you taking?

I got Gaines in purple

Who had a better UW career? Gaines rather easily.

Levi will have a better NFL career though.

And had Levi had the chance at a full season this year he may have made the UW career close.
