The Path to Norman

Keontez Lewis had completed a fairly full tour of the nation before landing at OU. Lewis played high school football in St. Louis, then headed west to UCLA for his first season of college football. Next, he travelled north to Wisconsin, spending two seasons with the Badgers. After that, Lewis was at Southern Illinois for one year. Following the 2024 season, Lewis joined the Sooners as one of several incoming receiver transfers.

Career so Far

In his lone season with the Bruins, Lewis played in 11 games, mostly on special teams.

Lewis had a productive season in 2022 for Wisconsin, ranking third on the team in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. His second season with the Badgers was a redshirt year.

2024 saw Lewis have a big season at Southern Illinois. He averaged 73.9 receiving yards per game and was a big time receiver.

Highlights

This Season

Lewis and the rest of the receiver room will be looking for a big season after a brutal 2024 campaign for the group. He was consistently mentioned as standing out in the receiver room over the offseason and now looks likely to start for game one. With John Mateer slinging the ball and a largely new group of receivers around him, Lewis will have the chance for a big season this fall.
