The 6-foot, 195 lb. defender recently decommitted from Cal in September of this year, and is now Vanderbilt's second cornerback in the class, joining fellow 3-Star Collin Flanigan who made his decision in June.
While he is listed as cornerback, Lewis has spent time all over the field throughout his four seasons of varsity football. He originally suited up for Casteel High School in Queens Creek, Arizona, but now plays for Basha High School, the No. 2 ranked program in the state, according to MaxPreps.
In his three seasons with Casteel, Lewis compiled 1,215 yards of total offense with 14 touchdowns, and also added 104 tackles, 15 pass deflections and an interception.
The Arizona native is ranked as the No. 64 cornerback in the class and the No. 13 player in Arizona, according to 247Sports' composite ranking, and prior to his decommitment from Cal, held offers from the likes of Iowa, Arizona State, Kansas State and many more.
With now 23 commitments in the 2026 recruiting class, Lea and the Commodores' staff are tied with Alabama for the fourth most commits in the SEC behind Georgia (29), Texas A&M (27) and Tennessee (24).
