Next on the list is incoming defensive back Christyn Lewis. Coaches love the Fontana, Calif. native because he can play in both man and zone coverage and still stay physical. He’ll compete for playing time right away and will definitely be a factor on special teams. Lewis comes to the ‘U’ ranked as the 26th junior college cornerback in the country after attending Citrus College. As a Fighting Owl alum, Lewis holds the school record with six blocked kicks. He tallied 43 tackles, three interceptions and seven pass break-ups in a sophomore season that saw him earn second-team All-Central Conference. Lewis chose Minnesota over offers from BYU, Idaho and Utah State. Brew Crew Report: You’ve been here over a month now, how are classes going? Christyn Lewis: Classes are going great. My teachers are nice, and I’m getting everything taken care of. It’s a pretty easy transition from junior college. BCR: How about training? Are you excited for camp to start? CL: Training is going fine. I’m just working hard everyday – trying to get bigger, faster and stronger. BCR: Have you kind of fell in with the players and coaches since you’ve arrived on campus? CL: I’m really comfortable with everybody. All the players are great – everybody welcomed me with open arms. Same with the coaches, even coaches I had never talked to before. I came in on my first day and met Coach Lewis – real chill guy. Everyone is real nice. BCR: How do you feel about your decision to come to Minnesota? CL: I’ll probably never make another decision that is as important as that in my life, but I feel like I made the right one. When I took my trip, I talked to some of the players, and it really seemed like they hard each other’s backs. I have friends at other schools, and they all talked about the negatives of their programs. When I came to Minnesota, I really feel like there weren’t many negatives at all. BCR: What are your plans for Spring Break? CL: Haha…I’m just going back home to California – get some sunshine in my life. http://assets.ngin.com/attachments/flash_text_block_image/0421/1303/Lewis_Christyn.jpg
