No purchase necessary. 50 U.S./D.C. 18+. Entry opens 3PM ET Dec 6, 2026 and closes 8PM ET Dec 18, 2026. Void where prohibited.See for complete details. The College Football Playoff (CFP) is not a sponsor or administrator of this contest.

Instincts: Innate ability to track ball downfield. Adjusts to poorly-thrown passes with ease. Hands catcher, who routinely high-points jump balls and catches away from body. Routinely makes first defender miss in open field. Good vision as ball-carrier.

Polish: Shows immense promise as route-runner, but needs further refinement. Must learn to vary release at LOS; won’t always have size, speed advantage. Good awareness in scramble drill. Understanding how to attack zone coverage largely unknown.

Bottom Line: Lewis boasts the length, body control and ball skills elite Power-5 programs covet in receiver prospects. While at his downfield, bringing down throws from the air, he’s also dangerous with the ball in his hands. Projects as multi-year impact player, with a ceiling that suggests he’s being underrecruited.
