Purdue DT transfer Damarjhe Lewis commits to SMU
Purdue defensive tackle Damarjhe Lewis, who began his career at Indiana University, spent the past four years with the Boilermakers. Now, he’s committed to SMU, he announced on Saturday.
The Mustangs hosted him for a visit Thursday that wrapped up Friday, sources confirm to On3.
His career has been riddled with injuries, but he’s got plenty of upside, if he pans out. The 6-foot-3, 300-pound native of Griffin, Ga., has one season of eligibility remaining.
