Almost a week after National Signing Day, head coach Mike Locksley continues to pluck up recruits.
The third-year head coach announced Thursday that defensive back Julian Lewis signed with the Lobos.
“Julian is a rangy, athletic defensive back with the all the physical tools to impact our program,” Locksley said in a statement. “He has the ability to play a variety of roles and will help us add depth in the secondary. Julian brings experience and a great bloodline to our program.”
Lewis spent last season at Citrus College and played for Abilene Christian University in 2009.
He played for Pima Community College in 2008. At Pima, the 6-foot-2-inch, 205-pound secondary member earned freshman All-American honors.
Lewis, the son of former NFL player Albert Lewis, played high school football at Shawnee Mission High School in Kansas.
Lewis likely rounds out Locksley’s 2011 recruiting class that ranks toward the bottom among other Division I college football schools, according to online recruiting websites like Rivals.com and Scout.com.
Scout.com ranked the Lobos’ class 112th out of 120 Division I teams and eighth out of nine schools in the ever-changing Mountain West Conference.
Rivals.com had Locksley’s class seventh in the conference but doesn’t rank any team outside of the top-50 recruiting classes.
