 Kobe Lewis, Florida Atlantic, Player News


  Kobe Lewis' jersey number at Central Michigan was No. 4 and naturally, the transfer running back wanted to keep it the same at Purdue. Receiver Rondale Moore was the last player to wear No. 4 on offense for the Boilermakers. "The last person who wore that jersey was a baller," Lewis was told by the Purdue coaches. "I was like, 'You know what; I want to be a baller too.' Hopefully, he left some of his luck on that jersey and it rubs off on me. I want to fill his shoes." If Lewis' production matches what Moore did, the offense will take a big step forward in the running game during the 2022 season.

While gaining nearly 1,600 career yards with the Chippewas, Lewis became of fan of Moore from a distance. "Even when I was in college, he was in college and just watching him, that dude, I just love him," said Lewis, who is the 11th transfer to join the program since the end of last season. "He made me fall in love with the program." And now he's part of the program where he can attempt to lift the running game out of the basement of the Big Ten. The Boilermakers have ranked last among conference teams in rushing yards the last three years. - Journal and Courier

  Purdue's rushing attack received a potential boost Sunday when former Central Michigan running back Kobe Lewis announced his transfer to the Boilermakers. Lewis, a graduate transfer with two years of eligibility remaining, missed the 2021 season with an ACL injury. Lewis, who is from Americus, Georgia, was on campus over the weekend and was checked out by Purdue's doctors to determine the health of his knee, the Journal & Courier has learned.

The 5-foot-11, 220-pound Lewis could give the struggling running game a lift. He's rushed for 1,579 career yards, scored 18 touchdowns and has eight 100-yard games. Lewis has 40 receptions for 270 yards during this time with the Chippewas and likely will help the Boilermakers in the return game. Lewis returned 26 kickoffs during the 2018 season - the most among Mid-American Conference players - averaging 21.9 yards, which ranked third in the league. - Journal and Courier

  Central Michigan running back Kobe Lewis has entered the transfer portal, according to a report from Matt Zenitz of On3 Sports. He will be eligible immediately as a graduate transfer. Lewis suffered a preseason knee injury that forced him to miss the entire 2021 season. Heading into the 2022 campaign, he had been rehabbing the injury in Atlanta, Georgia near his hometown of Americus. Prior to the news of his transfer, coach Jim McElwain said he would be available when the team began summer workouts. Lewis was expected to be an important player at running back next to Lew Nichols III, who is the reigning NCAA leader in rushing yards. Nichols was the Mid-American Conference Offensive Player of the Year and a first team All-MAC selection in 2021. In four seasons with the Chippewas, Lewis rushed for 1,579 yards and 18 touchdowns. His top showing came in 2019, when he rushed for 1,074 yards as the secondary option behind Jonathan Ward. - Central Michigan Life

  Central Michigan starting running back Kobe Lewis suffered a non-contact knee injury and will have surgery Tuesday, head coach Jim McElwain announced Thursday. "The team and ourselves just feel horrible for a great leader like that," McElwain said. Under the NCAA's redshirt rules, a player can play a maximum of four games and still keep their eligibility. Because Lewis did not redshirt as a true freshman, he has an available redshirt season and an additional year of eligibility as a result of the coronavirus waiver.

"Obviously, losing Kobe, you're not only losing a great player and an explosive player and a guy that can make plays and help you win, but you're losing a great leader," McElwain said. "A guy that is very valuable in that locker room. And yet, you know what? We're gonna get it taken care of and he's gonna comeback." Lewis, a 2018 signee from Americus, Georgia, is a three-year contributor. As a true freshman, he carried the ball 10 times for 37 yards. His breakout came as a sophomore, crossing the 1,000 yard plateau and scoring 12 touchdowns to form a solid 1-2 punch with starter Jonathan Ward. Last season, as a junior, Lewis ran for 468 and six touchdowns on 105 carries. - Central Michigan Life

  A bigger, stronger and faster running back duo at Central Michigan? A scary proposition for Mid-American Conference opponents. The Chippewas feature two known commodities in the backfield in Kobe Lewis and Lew Nichols III. In his three seasons in a Chippewa uniform, Lewis has amassed nearly 3,000 all-purpose yards and scored 19 touchdowns; Nichols gained 597 yards in rushing and receiving and scored five TDs in the COVID-shortened 2020 season, earning the MAC Freshman of the Year Award.

Combined, they give CMU a potent one-two punch that give defensive coordinators headaches what with their ability to not only run, but also block and catch the ball out of the backfield. "Both of them have tremendous hands, so that's a plus," CMU running backs coach Cornell Jackson said. "Both of them clearly understand pass protection, so that's a plus. "Kobe's more of a slide and glide and try to find that sweet spot. Lew's the kind of guy that once he puts his foot in the ground, if you're in his way, he's taking a body part with him. Both of them are excellent runners, both of them have excellent vision." - Central Michigan Football

  Kobe Lewis had 28 carries for 112 yards and two touchdowns, Daniel Richardson accounted for two more TDs, and Central Michigan beat Ohio 30-27 on Wednesday night in the season, and Mid-American Conference, opener for both teams. Richardson was 23-of-41 passing for 243 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown to Kalil Pimpleton, and scored on a 1-yard run. De'Montre Tuggle had a 3-yard touchdown run to tie the score with 58 seconds left in the first half, and returned the opening kickoff of the second 93 yards for a score that gave Ohio a 27-20 lead. After Central Michigan was forced to punt on its ensuing drive, Willie Reid forced and then recovered a fumble by Tuggle at the Bobcats' 22, setting up an 8-yard TD run by Lewis with 10:36 left in the third quarter. CMU's Marshall Meeder kicked a 22-yard field goal to cap a 15-play, 70-yard drive with 9:05 to play. Ohio, which went three-and-out on its following two possessions, moved into Chippewas territory in the closing minute but a holding penalty and then a false start stalled its final drive. Kurtis Rourke passed for 231 yards and two touchdowns for the Bobcats. - AP College Football

  Lewis, who rushed for 1,074 yards and 15 touchdowns a year ago, is CMU's top threat in the backfield. His 2019 running mate, Jonathan Ward, is now with the Arizona Cardinals. "He's an explosive runner," said Charlie Frye, CMU's offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach, of Lewis. "He's an every-down back. We ask him to (block), we ask him to catch, we ask him to run. He can do all three things. He's as good as you're going to get." Lewis, a junior, proved his explosiveness, versatility and durability in 2019. He added 23 receptions for 163 yards while posting five 100-yard rushing games. Redshirt freshman Lew Nichols should also see a lot of playing time in spelling Lewis. "With me being the No. 1 back and Lew being a freshman, I'll be depended on a lot this season," Lewis said. "I know that my body has to be right. This whole quarantine and COVID thing my focus has been getting bigger, faster and stronger and I've done that." - Central Michigan Football

  Kobe Lewis rushed for 161 yards and two touchdowns as Central Michigan cruised past winless New Mexico State, 42-28 in a nonconference game on Saturday. The Chippewas lost starting quarterback David Moore Tuesday to an NCAA suspension after he tested positive for a banned substance and now have won back-to-back games under first-year coach Jim McIlwain. Central Michigan has appealed the suspension.

Quinten Dormady stepped up to complete 14 of 24 passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns, hitting Kalil Pimpleton with a 44-yard touchdown pass three minutes into the game to put the Chippewas in front, 7-0. Moore raced 57-yards for a score minutes later to make it 14-0 and his 20-yard dash early in the second quarter made it 21-7. Jonathan Ward ran 75 yards for a score in the second quarter and Dormady added a 7-yard scoring pass to Tony Poljan in the fourth quarter and added a two-point conversion pass to Pimpleton that made it 42-21 early in the fourth quarter. Josh Adkins was 24 of 40 for 263 yards and three touchdowns with an interception for New Mexico State (0-7). - Central Michigan/AP College Football
