Lewis is the 2023-24 Gatorade Georgia football player of the year. According to MaxPreps, this season he has thrown for 2,842 yards. He has thrown 40 touchdown passes and just four interceptions.

“Coach Prime has always said the best man is going to play. That’s really what I wanted, was to be able to compete … I don’t have much fun sitting on the bench, so I want to come to where I have a chance to play.”
Lewis will have to compete for the starting job next season. He may be the favorite to get the job.
