“He told me he watched my film and he likes it a lot and he wants to start recruiting me now,” Lewis recapped.
“Phenomenal academic institution,” Lewis’s father TC Lewis said. “The offense and the coaching staff’s success developing the quarterback position is second to none. Such an amazing opportunity.”
