new coach Charlie Weis would turn the program around.

"It's the movement that Coach Weis has and is building," Lewis said. "Since he's moved in, I feel like he has master plan. And I want to be a part of it."

Lewis said he talks to defensive coordinator Dave Campo "all the time," and said the hiring of Campo was another factor that swayed him.

"I really like the way he uses DBs out there," Lewis said. "He gives us a chance to apply our technique and go out and make big plays for the team.

Lewis said he hopes that he's part of a movement himself, one that starts sending state of Texas kids to Lawrence for their football careers.

"I really do think they are going to be on the rise(with Texas kids)," Lewis said. "Coach Weis coming from Notre Dame, that's high quality football up there. He's going to bring it to Kansas, and we're going to get it rolling and keep it rolling."

Lewis said he only has one goal once he hits campus.

"My plan, once I get to Kansas, is just to do whatever it takes to win games," Lewis said. "That's all. That's it."
