Quincy University Hawks

Personal: Roark Lewis, from Girard, Illinois, was a standout at North Mac High School, where he earned Academic All-State honors, was named an All-State 2A running back, and was the South Central Conference Offensive MVP. He also set the school record for most rushing yards in a season. Coming from an accomplished athletic family, Roark’s uncles — Richard, Ronald, and Russell Lewis — all played football at Blackburn College, with each earning All-Conference honors and induction into the Blackburn College Hall of Fame, while also competing in other sports or continuing their football careers at Illinois State University. The son of Raymond and Shelley Lewis, Roark enjoys reading, skateboarding, fishing, and playing video games. His favorite athletes include Marshawn Lynch, Walter Payton, and Michael Jordan, and he supports the St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Bulls, and Seattle Seahawks.

Why QU?
I chose QU for the football program and the opportunity to study pre-med.
