Five star athlete Whitney Lewis (6-1, 215, 4.35) from Ventura (Calif.) Saint Bonaventure is just beginning to really concentrate on his recruitment. He will take his first visit this weekend and he has two other visits scheduled.

Lewis will visit USC this weekend (January 10th), he will follow that visit up with one to ASU (January 17th) and then he will travel to Florida State (January 24th).

We must keep in mind that Lewis is great friends with Seminole running back Lorenzo Booker.

Lewis may also visit Texas and Miami. “Whitney is deciding on when of if he’s going to visit Texas and Miami,” St. Bonaventure head coach John Mack said.

As a senior Lewis has had a phenomenal season leading the Seraphs their fourth consecutive CIF SS Championship. He rushed for 1,059 yards, caught 69 passes for 1,235 yards and ranked second in the state in scoring with 42 touchdowns and 268 points.

For good measure Lewis has even punted this season averaging 31.5 yards per punt.

Lewis was selected to play on West squad in the All-American Bowl, all-state and was rated by Rivals as the number two athlete prospect in the entire nation.
