The junior has no plans to entertain leaving for the NFL draft, he announced today on Twitter.

Lewis is a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award, given to the nation's top defensive back, and he leads the country, averaging 2.3 passes defended per game.

Currently with 16 pass breakups by Michigan's stats, he is two short of the U-M single season record of 18, share by Marlin Jackson and Leon Hall.
