Tucson High grad Lewis headed to Vandy
Tucson High grad Osia Lewis, class of ’81, has been a defensive line coach at Oregon State, UTEP, Illinois, New Mexico and, for the last five years, San Diego State. Last week, he was hired by Vanderbilt. Lewis met Rich Rodriguez while recruiting in Phoenix last month, and told him how much he would like to return to Tucson and be Arizona’s new defensive line coach. It didn’t work out, and Lewis is now farther from home. But he’s in the SEC, and will probably double his salary from about $190,000 to close to $350,000. Couldn’t happen to a better person.
