He broke the Red Flash record in three seasons, and his total of 524 career tackles is 147 more than the previous record. A four-time All-NEC performer and two-time All-American, Lewis also holds the single-season mark for Saint Francis and the NEC with his 142 tackles in 2008. His 138 tackles in 2010 are second in Red Flash history and fifth in the league, and his 126 tackles from 2007 are seventh-most in NEC history. His career 51.0 tackles for loss ranks fifth in the NEC when he left and now sits 10th all-time. He finished 2008 and 2010 ranked in the Top-5 in tackles per game after ranking fourth in 2008 (12.6) and second in 2010 (12.5). Lewis was honored as the only freshman on the 2007 Sports Network Mid-Major & Independent All-America First Team Defense and was named ECAC Rookie of the Year and NEC Defensive Rookie of the Year. His 23 tackles against Wagner on Oct. 18, 2008, was the third-highest single-game total in program history, and now sits as the fourth most. Lewis returned in 2021 to serve as the Defensive Coordinator for the Red Flash, where the Red Flash ranked fourth overall in scoring defense and total defense, third in scoring defense, and second in total defense in his first season.
