Name: Joseph Lewis IV
Position: WR
Class: Freshman
Size: 6-foot-2, 213 lbs.
Age: 18
High School (Hometown): Hawkins (Los Angeles, CA)
Game: Lewis does not have the typical frame of a freshman. He was physically ready to compete from the moment he set foot on campus. While he is not overly tall, he plays big. When given 50/50 chances, the freshman tends to come down with the ball. With a firm grasp of the playbook thanks to tireless work off the field, he is pushing for more and more opportunities as the season progresses.
Prep Career: As a senior at Hawkins, Lewis racked up 21 catches for 555 yards and 7 TDs, plus 61 tackles, 2 interceptions, 2 fumble recoveries and 6 punt returns for 179 yards en route to 2016 Prep Star All-American Dream Team, Tacoma News Tribune Western 100, Orange County Register Fab 15 first team honors and more. Lewis also contributed as a punter his junior year, with 12 attempts for a 44.9 average.
USC head coach Clay Helton on Lewis: "He's always had that powerful, natural skill set. He kind of reminds me of what JuJu [Smith-Schuster] was, to be honest with you. Maybe even a faster version of JuJu."
Fun Fact: Lewis' nickname is "Jody. "
