Acaden Lewis committed to the Kentucky Wildcats first but decommitted from the program on Nov. 4. He announced his commitment to Villanova on May 1, after considering offers from top programs, including the UConn Huskies, Georgia Bulldogs and Michigan Wolverines.
He spoke to On3 about his decision.
“Nova has the staff that I trusted the most,” Lewis told On3’s Joe Tipton. “Not only do they have strong DMV ties, but at UMD, they were one of the first schools to take a chance on me at the high major level. The staff knows me and my game extremely well, and I have trust and faith that they will develop me while allowing me to be me at the same time.”
He played three seasons for the Sidwell Friends Quakers. In his sophomore season, he averaged 8.7 points per game. He increased his stats in his junior year, averaging 14.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.3 blocks per contest.
He led his school to a 24-6 overall record and an 11-1 record in the Washington, D.C., Section District of Columbia Mid-Atlantic Basketball League, where it finished first.
In the 2025 DCSAA Boys Basketball State Tournament, the Quakers received a bye in the first round on Feb. 25. In the quarterfinals on Feb. 26, they sealed a 58-32 victory over Cardozo. They also defeated St. John's by a 55-45 scoreline in the semifinals on Feb. 28.
However, they were unable to lift the title after a 67-51 loss against Gonzaga in the finals on April 2.
