The 6’3, 185-pounder has two seasons of eligibility remaining. Like former Texas guard Jordan Pope, Lewis is an Oakland product who played his high school basketball at Prolific Prep in Napa, signing with Saint Mary’s over high-major offers from schools like Arizona State, Cal, Illinois, Kansas, LSU, Ole Miss, TCU, and Washington in a huge coup for former head coach Randy Bennett. A consensus four-star prospect, Lewis was the No. 90 player nationally and the No. 12 combo guard in the 247Sports Composite rankings. As the sixth man for the Gaels as a freshman, Lewis showed promise, averaging 8.2 points in 15.9 minutes per game, and led Saint Mary’s with 58 three-pointers made, 155 thre- pointers attempted, and 37.4-percent three-point shooting. In a high-profile matchup against rival Gonzaga, Lewis helped Saint Mary’s record its third straight WCC regular-season title by scoring 18 points in 18 minutes on 5-of-7 shooting from three. In 2025-26, Lewis was a full-time starter for Saint Mary’s as Bennett’s team, boosting his scoring average to 13.9 points in 26.8 points per game, adding 2.7 points and 2.1 assists. The efficient three-point shooting for Lewis continued in hitting at 36.8 percent, and he improved his free-throw shooting to 88.2 percent. Lewis started the season strong and finished it strong, averaging 22 points per game in the first four contests and 22.6 points per game in the final six games heading into the NCAA Tournament, including a career-high 31-point performance on 7-of-13 shooting from three with five rebounds and four assists, showing up big again against Gonzaga. Lewis is a high-usage player with a low turnover rate who looks to create for himself as a secondary playmaker for Saint Mary’s, ranking second on the team in assists as a sophomore. Primarily a jump shooter, Lewis is efficient from three, but less effective as a mid-range shooter and a poor finisher at the rim who rarely gets to the free-throw line, an area where improvement would significantly bolster his overall production because he shoots so well from the line. At Texas, the most likely outcome is that Lewis returns to his sixth-man role as a microwave scorer off the bench, but could also feature in a three-guard lineup with Colorado transfer Isaiah Johnson and 2026 signee Austin Goosby.
