Lewis, a 6-foot-5, 257-pound tight end from New Iberia, Louisiana, just wrapped up his redshirt sophomore season with the Crimson Tide.

He has appeared in 31 games at Alabama with one career start. Lewis has one career catch at Alabama, totaling five yards on the reception. He also returned one kickoff for 14 yards.

Lewis is projected to compete for starting playing time in 2025, as Alabama is losing CJ Dippre and Robbie Outz due to both players no longer having collegiate eligibility.

Lewis was rated as a three-star tight end prospect from Westgate High School in Louisiana, holding offers from LSU, Florida, and Alabama, among others.

Lewis originally committed to the Cincinnati Bearcats in September 2021 before de-committing in January 2022. After official visits to LSU, Florida, and Alabama in January 2022, Lewis committed to the Crimson Tide in the same month.

Alabama will be in a good spot at the tight end position in 2025, with Danny Lewis Jr. and Josh Cuevas projected as starters, while adding four-star prospects Kaleb Edwards and Marshall Pritchett in the 2025 recruiting class.
