Acaden Lewis, one of the top point guards in the country, will take an official visit to the UConn Huskies this weekend, he told On3. Lewis unofficially visited Dan Hurley and company in June and will now return to Storrs in the official capacity.

The 6-foot-3 four-star senior out of Sidwell Friends (D.C.) is considering the back-to-back National Champs along with Duke, North Carolina, and Kentucky.

He’s also scheduled to visit North Carolina on October 4th and is expected to also make official trips to Kentucky and Duke. A decision is expected by the Early Signing Period in November.

Lewis is the No. 34 overall recruit in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. He’s also the No. 5 point guard prospect. The On3 Industry Ranking is a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Lewis a standout at NBPA Top-100 Camp

Earlier this summer, On3’s Jamie Shaw listed Acaden Lewis as one of the standouts at the NBPA Top-100 Camp.

“Acaden Lewis continued his hot play from the spring and ended the week as one of the camp’s big stock risers. The lefty is a crafty player, able to get to his spots into the teeth of the defense in the half-court. What makes him the biggest threat is his ability to keep his dribble live. Lewis finished with an array of floaters, finishes at the rim, or pull-up jump shots throughout the week. Defensively, he was impressive, heating up the ball in the open floor and using his quick hands and feet to be pesky guarding the ball. He also distributed the ball well showing comfort in the pick and roll and in the open floor. Lewis’ consistent play had a lot of onlookers talking.

“It has been a steep trend upward over the past 12 months for four-star Acaden Lewis. He plays with an excellent pace, keeping a live dribble at all times and taking what the defense gives him. The lefty get into the paint using a crafty handle and excellent pace. The jump shot is consistent and he does a lot of damage in the mid range. He started the day with a 23 point outing and ended it with a 26 point game. He remains a constant threat because he keeps a live dribble deep into the teeth of the defense.”
