Expert Analysis

You don’t often see the combination of defensive line and running back for one player but University’s Melique Lewis Melique Lewis 6'2" | 275 lbs | DL University | 2024 State WV holds that rare honor. Believe it or not, the 6’2 275 senior sees a lot of time at running back for the Hawks and honestly for his size it’s quite impressive. Obviously, he’s not going to blow by you for an 80-yard touchdown but the big man can really move for his size and is pretty nimble. Lewis has more of an interior defensive lineman body too and although he sees a lot of time on the end in high school I like him to be inside at the next level. At his size and with his level of athleticism to match it, Lewis has the potential to be a very high-caliber defensive lineman in college. They’ll even throw him the ball out of the backfield usually in the flats and it’s just a spectacle to watch him play running back on offense and is a testament to how athletic he is.

I got to see University’s Melique Lewis at the GCOH Performance Exposure Camp last Sunday and he was one of my defensive line camp standouts. The 2024 prospect has pretty good size at 6’1 260 and is quite athletic for a guy his size. Lewis actually gets quite a bit of carries on offensive as a running back and he’s very effective running the ball. His best position for the next level is along the defensive line though where he primarily plays on the end. As he continues to grow, Lewis could probably grow to be an interior lineman in time. He’s an athletic and strong player who can help you in both pass rush and run defense. Lewis is quick off the ball and strong enough to push back offensive linemen. He can also run you down from behind and make tackles downfield.

There is a lot to work with in Melique Lewis‘ game and a name to watch for this season.
