Pitt Cracks Top 6 Schools for 4-Star Georgia CB

As a junior at Calvary Day, Lewis put up 53 tackles, five for a loss, three interceptions, six pass breakups, a blocked field goal and a blocked punt. Lewis helped Calvary Day reach the GHSA Class Private championship game with a 12-2 record.

Lewis is listed as a four-star prospect by the 247Sports Composite and Rivals. ESPN has Lewis as a three-star recruit.

The 247Sports Composite favors Lewis slightly more than the Rivals Industry Ranking. The composite lists Lewis as the No. 34 out of Georgia, the No. 36 corner in the class and the No. 305 player overall. The Industry Ranking has him as the No. 44 player from "The Peach State," the No. 42 corner and the No. 388 player in the nation.

Pitt officially offered Lewis a scholarship on Feb. 4, and he told Simmons that he is in the process of scheduling official visits with the schools he's interested in. He added that he remains in contact with schools outside of his top six.

“I want to get a feel for all of the schools,” Lewis told Simmons. “At the end of the day, it’s about finding that home feeling.”

Lewis also told Simmons that it's important that he finds a school where he can play early in his career, and he will make his decision after he takes his official visits.

Pitt appears to have some work to do, however. Lewis has yet to schedule an official visit with the Panthers, and he told Simmons that Kentucky has "the overall edge right now" in his recruitment.

Playing early as a cornerback and being successful at it, too, is a real possibility at Pitt. Just look no further than Shawn Lee Jr., who was an On3 All-American as a true freshman and allowed just 5.5 yards per game.
