He finished the season with 16 total tackles and a sack.[9] Lewis tore his ACL in summer training camp going into his junior season and was forced to use a medical redshirt.[10]

Lewis entered his redshirt junior season as a starting outside linebacker for Alabama and was named to the Butkus Award watchlist.[11] [12] He finished the season with 31 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, 6.0 sacks, 16 quarterback hurries, two pass breakups and one fumble recovery and was named second team All-Southeastern Conference.[13] Lewis opted not to play in the Citrus Bowl and decided to enter the 2020 NFL draft, forgoing his final year of NCAA eligibility. Lewis finished his collegiate career with 58 tackles (14.5 for loss), eight sacks, three passes defended and a forced fumble in 26 games played.[14]
