Hype continues to dog Lewis - Daily Trojan
...After three years plagued by ineffectiveness, academic ineligibility and struggles to stay in shape, redshirt junior Whitney Lewis is using spring football as his second chance...The former wideout is taking the majority of the snaps as running back to put his talent on display and be the Whitney everybody expected three years ago out of St. Bonaventure High School...

..."They basically say that it's never really over, your time can come any time where a guy needs to step in and do what they're supposed to. That kept me driven."

Now, Lewis must find that extra gear to make the most of his situation. The best receiving corps in the nation makes it almost impossible to get significant touches in the passing game, but with no healthy running backs available in the spring and a talented group of freshmen on the way that have to be gradually developed, Lewis can seal his fate once and for all...
