CANFIELD, OH- Under the bright lights of South Range football, few athletes have risen to prominence as swiftly and impressively as number 14, Nate Lewis.
Emerging as a dynamic player this season, Lewis’s journey has been far from straightforward. After being sidelined by an early-season injury last year, Lewis faced the challenging task of constant rehabilitation. “It was really hard just going to practice every day and not being able to do anything,” he revealed. However, perseverance paid off as, during the last three games, Lewis became a pivotal figure for the Raiders, proving his mettle on the field.

Host DJ Yokley describes Lewis as “an absolute weapon,” noting his unmatched speed and agility. Not surprisingly, Lewis attributes his swiftness to his track background, where he competes in events like the 4×1 and the 4×2. While he admits he didn’t fully enjoy track, it undeniably honed his speed and endurance.

Lewis’s on-field chemistry with teammate Tristan is particularly noteworthy. Yokley likens their connection to that of NFL legends Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown, citing an almost telepathic ability to locate each other during gameplay.

Off the field, Lewis is a typical teenager. He enjoys video games, with Minecraft and the new NCAA football game being among his favorites. He also aspires to be remembered for his hard work and dedication, traits instilled in him by his family. “Definitely my parents and my grandparents,” Lewis acknowledges, emphasizing the support and values they have imparted.

When asked about his future ambitions, Lewis remains uncertain, but his current focus is clear: to continue excelling both in sports and academics, where his favorite subject is math.

As a student-athlete, Lewis exemplifies the values of hard work, humility, and perseverance. His story is not just about athletic success but also about character and determination. South Range and the broader community have a lot to look forward to from this rising star.
