Overview
- Lewis, in a Sunday social media post, said he will enter the NCAA transfer portal and take part in the NBA draft process while keeping his college eligibility.
- The freshman point guard averaged 12.2 points, 5.3 assists, and three rebounds and earned second-team All-Big East honors.
- His decision is the first public portal move by a 2025–26 Villanova player who finished the season, with the portal scheduled to open Tuesday after the national title game.
- Villanova now faces a hole at starting point guard after earlier departures that included Zion Stanford and Tafara Gapare.
- The Philadelphia Inquirer reported the move suggests no financial agreement for next season was reached, reflecting a broader trend of players using the portal and draft feedback to weigh options.
