Levis has been in the top 10 numerous times in other mock drafts, but this is the first time the now-Wildcat appeared on top.
The Madison, Connecticut, native spent two seasons at Happy Valley, throwing for three touchdowns with one start.
For his junior season, Levis headed to the SEC to Kentucky where he could get a permanent starting gig.
He threw 24 touchdowns and 2,826 yards, which slotted him at No. 6 in both categories in the conference.
He'll look to lead a Kentucky team that finished last season second in the SEC East behind National Champion Georgia.
