Rice Men's Basketball Adds Transfer Seryee Lewis
POSTED: April 20, 2022 -- 10:51 a.m. CT
Wednesday morning, Rice men's basketball coach Scott Pera announced the signing of transfer Seryee Lewis to a grant-in-aid for the 2022-23 school year.
Lewis, 6'9" 230, forward, comes to Rice after spending the last two years at Kansas State. Lewis sat out last year after suffering a preseason injury (torn ACL).
As a freshman, he saw action in 18 games, all off the bench. He totaled nearly 100 minutes (98), scoring 36 points and grabbing 20 rebounds. He played double-digit minutes in four games, including a season-high 14 minutes versus No. 2 Baylor (12/19/20). Lewis connected on 62.5% from the floor. He scored in nine games, including a season-high nine points at No. 2 Baylor (1/27/21) on 4-of-5 field goals. He also scored six points vs. Jacksonville (12/21/20) on perfect 3-of-3 field goals.
Lewis grabbed at least one rebound in nine games, including a season-high five against Jacksonville (12/21/20). He scored in six of nine Big 12 contests.
A consensus three-star prospect out of high school, Lewis starred at Compass Prep in Arizona. As a senior in 2019, he helped the head coach Ed Gipson to a 24-6 record and averaged a double-double with 13.2 points and 10.1 rebounds while adding 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game.
