Justin Lewis playing key role in first year despite injury

First-year forward Justin Lewis has started his career at Marquette by proving how valuable he is to the program and to his head coach.

The 6-foot-7, 225-pound four-star prospect out of high school came out of Baltimore Polytechnic Institute in Baltimore, the same city where head coach Steve Wojciechowski attended high school, which was important to Lewis in his recruiting.

“It meant a lot,” Lewis said. “Seeing the path he’s taken and the things he’s done in his career, I just want him to help me on my path.”

Lewis has impressed during his short time in college, as he was one of three incoming forwards alongside first-years Dawson Garcia and Oso Ighodaro.
