Ranked as the number 2 overall Junior College prospect in the class of 2015 by 247Sports.com's Composite ranking system, Marquavius Lewis is one of the most highly recruited prospects in all of the country.
Lewis visited Miami this past week for two days with his teammate, and new Miami commit, Claude George.
"Well we got to see the city of course which was great. Then we saw the campus and how they plan on fitting us in their schemes. We also got to see how the coaches and the players interact like a family," said Lewis.
Both George and Lewis star at Hutchinson Community College in Kansas. While George already pulled the trigger and committed right after the visit, Lewis still has a lot of thinking to do and the official visit has just given Lewis more to think about.
"Well, Miami has been my dream school ever since I was growing up as a little kid. It was great that I had the opportunity to go see the school. So I got to make my dream a reality, I guess," said Lewis.
Lewis, who stands in at 6-foot-3, 265-pounds, was born and raised in Greenwood, South Carolina, a town about 90 miles outside of Columbia, South Carolina. As we all know, Columbia is the home of the South Carolina Gamecocks.
When asked if he felt pressured at all to play in his home state, Lewis said "It's my decision when it comes, down to it so no I don't."
The Gamecocks, along with Miami, Auburn, Alabama, and Arizona State round out Lewis' top five choices. He has already officially visited Miami and Arizona State. He says he plans to officially visit the other three schools in the future.
Down to his final five already, what will be the ultimate deciding factor when it comes time for a commitment?
"Probably just to see how the coaches and players interact with one another. What the players think about their coaches. How the coaches help their players succeed on and off the field will be most important."
Miami has thrown their hats in the Marquavius Lewis sweepstakes and it's chances of landing him are very good.
Here are Lewis' highlights from his freshman year of JuCo:
