We need to get him on the mountain.

I saw on his twitter that good ole LU Law School tweeted at him and he retweeted. K-State has been recruiting him really hard, but I like our chances!

Committed to Liberty tonight

HUGE pickup! This kid had the big boys chasing him.

On Lewis' commitment who chose the Flames over several FBS offers

Great news. Let's keep the momentum going.

In case you are confused, his name is Michael Lewis II but he goes by Austin.

He immediately becomes the highest rated recruit [3 stars] of Liberty’s class of 2018 to this point.

I think Vince Redd was also from Tennessee.

Thats a big one. Sounds all onboard as well. I think we needed that 1 big domino to fall. I bet several more come in the next few weeks.

hopefully Chibueze, Wright and Ballard follow.

I think this may be our first "please respect my decision" commit.

Just a recap of who we beat out.

Don't cut the hair

Seriously. Fabio would be livid.

Remington Green's hair is almost as long. Not an issue. Things sure have changed since my days as a student at LBC, or for that matter even since Vince Redd was "asked" to cut off his dreads.

sounds like another rock solid hard commit too...maybe he can help us like Queen is trying to do

RB target Anthony Ballard is also from TN, but at the other end of the state. Not likely they know each other.

He has posted on twitter and his dad has too that he will be signing on December 20th!! Him, Chibueze, Schlitter have confirmed they will be signing this week. I just hope our other 3 stars (Weaver and Henderson) do as well.

Letter is in!

It was easy to see why David Crockett’s Austin Lewis was offered a scholarship to play football at Liberty University.

Lewis had 108 solo tackles, 128 assists and 34 tackles for loss as a senior, but it was his actions beyond his play which got former Pioneers coach Jeremy Bosken emotional during Lewis’ signing ceremony Wednesday at the David Crockett library.

“Every camp we would go to, we would be the last team to leave,” Bosken recalled. “It’s because Austin would be over there thanking and shaking the hand of every coach who was there. Liberty has no idea who they are getting; they have no clue. In today’s sports age, his actions go a long ways. He has made a lasting impression on my family.”

Quote from the article:

...by the time I’m a sophomore, the stadium will seat 48,000 people...

Another quote from the article,

“I met Coach Gill at a camp in South Carolina,” Lewis said. “Somebody was like, ‘That’s Turner Gill.’ I went and looked him up and realized he was a legend as a college quarterback. More than football, he’s a great man, a good family man and he’s another reason I chose Liberty.”
