IN HIS OWN WORDS

"I committed to Kansas State and I made my decision January 12," said Lewis. "I let coach Klieman, coach Braet and coach Blake know about my decision — they were excited as hell.

"I chose Kansas State because of the new head coach, the defensive back coaches and the opportunity to play early. Coach Blake been recruiting me since my sophomore year.
