It isn’t clear where Lewis will be transferring, but he’ll be able to play immediately as a graduate transfer. Based on a recent string of twitter follows, Arizona State, Arizona, and Oklahoma could all be in play for Lewis’ services. He thanked all three head coaches that he’s played under during his career at Penn State, including Joe Paterno for recruiting him.
Lewis, a three year starter for the Lions, saw his opportunities significantly drop in 2015 with the emergence of sophomore sensation Chris Godwin, and felt that it was in his best interest to move on.
The veteran receiver came to Penn State as a highly coveted four-star prospect, and leaves the Lions with 90 career catches for 1,181 yards and eight touchdowns.
We’ll keep you updated as more news breaks regarding where Lewis will play next year.
