There was always something about Kent State that interested Sean Lewis.
During his time at Bowling Green as a wide receivers coach in 2014 and co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2015, Lewis noticed an “energy” as the Falcons pulled into Dix Stadium that resonated with him.
“I felt something that day,” Lewis said. “The tradition just blew me away. I said, ‘Man, this place is a special place.’ I put it in the back of my head and didn’t think very much about it until this year. Things come full circle.”
Lewis completed that circle Thursday when Kent State introduced him as the new head football coach for the Flashes, the 22nd person to hold the position.
