Cornell University Athletics

Levitt was a second-team Division I-AA All-America selection by the Associated Press as a senior, capping a career that saw him named All-Ivy first-team three times and to the ECAC first-team twice. He set a school and league career record for most rushing attempts (922), and set a school-best mark for 100-yard rushing games in a career (24). Levitt rushed for 4,657 yards, and was prevented from breaking the school record (currently held by Ed Marinaro '72) due to a late-season injury at Columbia. During the 1996 campaign, he rushed for 1,435 yards on 267 carries, the second-best season in Cornell history. In 1996, Levitt was the ECAC Division I-AA Player of the Year, the Asa S. Bushnell Cup recipient as the Ivy League Player of the Year, the Ithaca Journal Male Athlete of the Year (1995 and 1996), and the Cornell Daily Sun Athlete of the Year. Levitt was awarded the Football News Ivy League Player of the Year accolades three years in a row and was selected by Vanity Fair magazine to its 1996 Ivy All-Star Award for offense. He was invited to play in both the East-West Shrine and the Blue-Gray all-star games. The Oakland Raiders chose Levitt in the fourth round (123rd pick overall) in the 1997 NFL draft and he started two games as a rookie. He also appeared on rosters for the St. Louis Rams and the Chicago Bears.
