He chose South Carolina over Kansas State, Arkansas, and Kentucky.
"It feels good. I've been praying on it and asking myself where I would fit in at," said Lewis. "I went on a visit and it just felt great. It was awesome, the moment I stepped on campus, the coaches, the teammates, the environment. I just loved it."
