Khalil Lewis brings Penn a dependable, high-IQ edge setting the tone at DE
Khalil Lewis has been a steady, team-first defensive piece for Penn, with the kind of motor and discipline coaches trust in the trenches. In the 2021 season, he started all 10 games and finished with 38 tackles and 3.5 tackles for loss, showing he can hold up against the run and make plays in the backfield[1]. His standout traits are consistency, versatility, and football IQ, plus a strong academic profile that earned national recognition as an NFF Scholar-Athlete finalist[1][2]. If you want a reliable, low-drama defender with substance, he’s your guy.
