Highlight Video

quote:

Lewis originally attended Compton High School in Compton, California, and was considering offers from Hawaii, Miami (FL), and Washington.

In high school, he was named 1st-Team All-State as a senior in California, and was 1st-Team JUCO All-American this year.



quote:

“I’ll be going against the top competition in the country week in and week out, and I’m really looking forward to that,” said Lewis, who has never visited UK but plans to make an official trip the weekend of the Wildcats’ spring game in April. “(Brumbaugh) knows what it takes for a junior-college player to get to the next level, which is the NFL. I think he can really help me reach that goal.

Awesome, nice addition. DT and LB position were the only positions I was worried about after signing day.

That's the first Zero Star player with no other offers that I've seen headlined in this forum.

And thanks for the link... I wasn't being lazy, I googled his name, came up with a bunch of crap, added "football recruit" to the search, and still only got results from UK sites/blogs.

Nothing from 247 etc came up in my google search. I just wanted you to know that.

Offer list isn't terrible. Not to mention rivals spends like 1/20th of the time evaluating JUCO players.

Nice pick-up for UK

He's a juco recruit. They don't give stars like traditional recruits.

Rivals and most other sites barely look at JUCO players. Ton of really good unrated players
