High-upside Youngstown State QB with big-arm promise and a redshirt runway
Malachi Lewis is a 6'4", 195-pound sophomore quarterback at Youngstown State who redshirted in the 2025 season, so the immediate data picture is still thin, but the upside is real. He arrived as a three-star QB and drew spring-game buzz for flashing playmaking ability, including three touchdown passes and 123 yards in Youngstown State’s spring showcase. He looks like a developmental fit: tall, projectable, and armed with enough talent to merit patience, though he still needs live-game reps to prove he can translate that potential into weekly production.
