Kentucky football has a storied history with quarterbacks, from decades ago until right up to last year. Will Levis climbed right up the Wildcats record books in two years on campus but would’ve needed two more to dream of breaking the all-time passing record.

Devin Leary will carry the torch in 2023, but won’t come close to reaching the top 10 unless he decides to throw for 400 yards per game. While that would likely mean an undefeated season, we can count on it *not* happening.

Still, the list of the top 10 passing yards leaders in Wildcats history is impressive. Kentucky football might not be called “Quarterback U,” but the program has had its fair share of gunslingers.

I’ve decided to take my opinion completely out of this article. We’re going with the facts, and taking a trip down memory lane, revisiting some of the all-time greats in Kentucky football history.
