Auburn offensive tackle Percy Lewis has committed to Ole Miss, On3 has learned on Friday. Lewis signed with the Rebels after spending one season at Auburn after transferring in from Mississippi State ahead of the 2024 campaign.

He has now been granted an extra year due to his time as a junior college player and has elected to go to Oxford for that final season.

At Auburn, Percy Lewis started a few games in 2024 before being replaced by Dillon Wade at left tackle. Lewis was in a rotational spot at left tackle while at Mississippi State as well.

At 6-foot-7, 355 pounds, Lewis boasts professional size and could be a significant addition for a team in need of a big body. Ahead of the 2024 season, Auburn offensive line coach Jake Thornton discussed how Lewis’ size is both a blessing and a curse.

“He’s a big body, big athlete. He’s got to be more consistent with his technique and stop relying on, I’m 6-foot-8, 350 pounds, I can just be bigger than everybody,” Thornton said. “He’s got to rely more on his technique, but it’s pushing him to be able to do that. So it’s brought a lot of value to the room, excited about that progression there.”

Prior to Auburn, Percy Lewis spent two seasons at Mississippi State, where he played in 25 games and made eight starts. Lewis spent the first two seasons of his collegiate career at Mississippi Gulf Coast CC, playing in 12 games.
