Billy Lewis is Furman’s steady, playmaking last line of defense
In the 2024 season, Billy Lewis emerged as a disruptive safety for Furman, finishing with 37 tackles, 3 interceptions, a forced fumble, and a defensive player of the week honor after a nine-tackle, pick-heavy outing against a ranked East Tennessee State team. Entering 2026, Furman describes him as its most experienced safety, praising his dependability, positioning, and trust level on every snap. That blend of ball production, consistency, and football IQ makes him the kind of defender who fits a system that values reliability with a splash of turnover juice.
