Departing Kent State on a high note, Lewis landed at San Diego State, a top-tier Group of Five program with aspirations of national recognition.

For Lewis, life in San Diego means access to a talent-rich recruiting pool and the comfort of being close to home. His fondness for high-quality Mexican food in San Diego adds to his excitement about the new chapter in his coaching career.
