Tyquan Lewis earns Prime Time spot on AP 1st team

CORRESPONDENT Van Holland

TARBORO ? Tarboro Vikings defensive end Tyquan Lewis has added another award to his collection. He was selected to the Associated Press All-State Defensive 1st team. Lewis received 15 out of a possible 17 votes, which was the most votes for a defensive player.

Lewis has been a driving force for the Vikings defense over the last four years. He was recently named the NCHSAA 2-A state championship Defensive Player of the Game.

Lewis led the Vikings for the second consecutive year with sacks and really turned up his game during the playoffs where he averaged at least two sacks per game in the playoffs.

Lewis' career took off during his sophomore season when he was an unknown, but quickly made a name for himself on the defensive side of the ball. He was a threat coming off of the end for opposing quarterbacks and couldn't be handled in the 2010 state championship game. He hit the quarterback on almost every other play.

Lewis committed to play football for the Ohio State Buckeyes and head coach Urban Meyer in September. He chose the Buckeyes over North Carolina and LSU.

Lewis decided to go play for the Buckeyes, because he connected well with the coaching staff there. Meyer was impressed with Lewis when he worked out for the Buckeye coaching staff. He said Lewis was one of the fastest players he had seen come off the edge and the others he had seen like that were top draft picks in the NFL.

Lewis played in the Shrine Bowl this past weekend. On the opening kickoff he forced a fumble and North Carolina scored off of the turnover.

Lewis began his senior campaign going to combines. The most prestigious was "The Opening" in Oregon that was hosted by Nike at their headquarters.

Lewis is listed as a four star athlete and has an impressive time in the 40-yard dash. His big 6-foot-4 230 pound frame has been a force on the gridiron.

When he goes to college to play for the Buckeyes, he will move from defensive end to linebacker.

Getting rave reviews at the Shrine Bowl...working on the edge and also true LB. Measurements are legit and he definitely plays faster than the 40 time. I'll see him personally Saturday.

Sorry to bring this up grad, but how did you like Tyquan's play compared to other national top guys? Legit SEC type DL? TIA.

Actually thats who I was thinking of when you mentioned he looked lost. Vern played a new position and didnt recover in the NFL. Not exactly the same I know, but some guys get used to a position and it just fits them.

I think the biggest problem with Vern was he relied to much on his athletism and that worked at the college level. He dude was a freak of nature phisically, but when he got to the pros... everyone was just as strong and fast. If I remember right, when he was at tOSU he would vaselate between domination and disappearing. Had a moster game agaist tsun and crazy numbers at the combine. Things just never clicked mentally at the pro level for him.

The Carolina All Star game was on tv this past weekend very early in the morning. I missed it but there's a chance it might be on again if people are interested in seeing Tyquan in action. Pretty sure it was ESPNU
