  Draft Scout by Conference









  Kicker Parker Lewis was meeting with Lincoln Riley in December when he decided to transfer from USC. In one of his earliest conversations with the Trojans' newly hired coach, he asked Riley about his plans to manage special teams. Throughout his tenure at Oklahoma, Riley had eschewed hiring a dedicated special teams coordinator, instead splitting up the responsibilities for kicking and punting among other position coaches. He told Lewis he planned to do the same at his new stop.

"I just didn't like it," Lewis said, "and I wanted to be with a coach that's developed significant players, something that would be better for me in my development. I talked with my family, and we just thought it would be best if I searched for other opportunities." Putting his name in the transfer portal and leaving USC was not an easy decision. The school held sentimental significance for Lewis. His grandfather, Ben Butler, was a tackle who was once on the cusp of playing for the Trojans before tearing a shoulder in his final high school game, a setback that ended his football career. Joining the program felt like fulfilling a family dream, and he wore the uniform No. 48 as a tribute to the year of his grandfather's last snap in 1948. - Columbus Dispatch
