Class of 2025 four-star guard Acaden Lewis landed an offer the last time he was on Kentucky’s campus. Now, he’s ready to head back to Lexington for an official visit.

The 6-foot-3, 170-pound point guard from Sidwell Friends (Baltimore, MD) School told KSR+ that he will take his official visit to Kentucky for Big Blue Madness from Oct. 11-13. He recently visited UConn from Sept. 18-20 and Duke from Oct. 4-6.

“I want to experience Kentucky. I want to see what it would be like if I were to go there and be there on the team,” Lewis told KSR+. “Big Blue Madness would be pretty insane.”  

Lewis is the first confirmed Kentucky official visitor for Big Blue Madness. He joins 2026’s Jayden Johnson and Anthony Thompson among expected attendees.

Kentucky Making Acaden Lewis a Priority

Kentucky’s full staff was in to meet with Acaden Lewis in early September, shortly after Jasper Johnson‘s commitment to Kentucky.

“They really want me and see me as a key piece in this class that brings everything together,” Lewis said. “They think Jasper and I work really well off of each other. Malachi [Moreno] and I formed a bond after the Top 100 Camp when I blew up and got my Kentucky offer and we played in the Elite 24. I’m familiar with both of their games. It would be great for all of us to play together.”

Lewis is down to a final three of Kentucky, UConn, and Duke. He is expected to commit before the early signing period in November.
