Watch Gators 5-star commit showing off his finishing abilities at the City of Palms last season.
The commitment comes one day after
White landed 4-star big man
Omar Payne of
Montverde Academy (Montverde, Fla.), and a month after he earned a pledge from 5-star guard
Tre Mann of
The Villages Charter (The Villages, Fla.).
Lewis, a 6-foot-5 wing, checks in as the No. 11 overall prospect in the class of 2019, according to
247Sports.
He guided Ranney to a 29-4 overall record in 2017-18, earning a spot on the
MaxPreps Junior All-American honorable mention team.
Averaging 16.4 points, 5 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game, the supremely athletic led Ranney to the NJSIAA Non-Public B Championship game.
Lewis chose the Gators over Kentucky, Arizona, and others, helping White with his best recruiting class since taking over in 2015.
