Ronnell Lewis (Remember the name)

Wow! What a hit! A big time special teams play could energize an entire team and motivate them to play with heart and determination. While watching the Sun Bowl today between Stanford and Oklahoma I saw one of the best special teams hits I have ever seen. It was reminiscent of Colts' Darrell Reid's explosion on Chris Henry of the Titans in 2007. True Freshman linebacker Ronnell Lewis, Oklahoma, ran downfield unblocked and unloaded on the Stanford returnman like a freight train. He did not slow down to make the hit, instead he bulled him over and ran right through him. Then on that same Stanford possession their RB Toby Gerhart ran through multiple tackles and was on his way to the endzone when Lewis hustled back and performed a textbook strip move as he punched the football out of Gerhart's arm causing a fumble in the endzone. Then, later in the game the Stanford FB ran a delay curl route and a poorly thrown ball caused his to stretch out unbalanced right as Lewis unloaded on his back right between the numbers. It was his second vicious hit of the game as the fullback's head snapped back when he went to the ground. What a tremendous hit by Lewis to explode into the receiver. Remember this kid's name. He is only a true freshman, but has the looks of a dominate linebacker for the next few years in college football. I think he will be playing on Sundays and quite possibly could be a 1st round pick on his way there. Keep an eye on Ronnell Lewis.
