"John Lewis is a talented lefty who transferred from Alabama and will be a key to our overall success this spring. He had his best fall since he has been here in Aggieland. John has a monster serve and forehand which will allow him to compete for a spot in the lineup this spring. John is a versatile all court player that can play singles and doubles at a very high level. When given the opportunity, John has been a very solid performer for the Aggies.
