Disclaimer: As the 2020 football season still is “technically” scheduled to proceed as planned in Manhattan, with the recent delay of our season opener until Sept. 12 against Arkansas State, we will reset and continue this Countdown for just a little bit longer...

Goal No. 14: CONSISTENCY. Your very, very best every time.

Lewis played for the Tornadoes under head coach Steve Jones and was rated the 52nd-best safety in the Class of 2019 by ESPN, while the organization also ranked him as the 26th-best player overall in the state of Louisiana.

He earned honorable mention all-state honors from the Louisiana Sports Writers Association as a senior after registering 57 tackles and five interceptions, on top of carding 42 tackles and nine picks as a junior.

Lewis picked K-State over offers from Arkansas, Arkansas State, Ball State, Colorado State, Florida, Florida International, Houston, Iowa State, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Louisiana Tech, Memphis, Mississippi, Missouri, SMU, South Alabama, Southeastern Louisiana, Southern Miss, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Texas State, Troy, Tulane, ULM, UNLV, Utah, Utah State and Western Kentucky, as well as interest from LSU, Oregon and Texas Tech.
