Shaun Lewis Could Have Been An Aggie

Shaun Lewis grew up in Missouri City, Texas.
“It’s about an hour drive from my home to Kyle Field,” Lewis said this week.
Lewis, for sure, knows the way. And the familiarity will extend to the other sideline and into the stands Saturday, when his Cowboys collide with Texas A&M in one of the nation’s spotlight games.
“I played against a lot of people in high school who go to A&M,” he said, “so it’s going to be a fun game.”
That could have been Lewis in maroon, too, if he’d paid more attention to the Aggies as a youngster.
“As a kid, I didn’t really follow A&M,” Lewis said. “I didn’t really get into college football until high school.”
Good thing, since Lewis, as a sophomore, is already one of the Cowboys’ top defenders. OSU’s only returning starter at linebacker, he’s become a stabilizing force for guys like Caleb Lavey and Alex Elkins, who are learning on the job at the other linebacker spots.
Good thing, too, since the Aggies were hot and heavy after Lewis as a prep star.
