Personal

Born Oct. 18, 1992 ... son of Joe and Nina Lewis ... full name is Joseph Lewis III ... nickname “Trey” comes from being the third Joseph Lewis and the youngest of three children ... two older sisters, Aja and Jazmine ... Higher Education major.
Personal goal at UofL is to “earn my master’s degree, become the best point guard in the ACC and lead the Cards to a national title.”
Best moment of his athletic career to date was reaching the state final four as a senior.
Enjoys reading books, playing the piano, listening to music and writing in his spare time.
Chose to attend UofL “to compete for a national title, to learn from a Hall of Fame coach and to play for an amazing fan base.”
Best basketball advice given to him was “great players make everyone around them better.”
Feels the young Martin Lawrence would be the best actor to play him in a movie.
His dad “who has been there every step of the way” has had the greatest influence on his athletic career.
Few people know that he “has a gift for music. I have a hiddent talent to rap.”
When he played basketball as a kid, he pretended he was Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade.
Chose to wear jersey number three comes from being the third Joseph Lewis, he is the youngest of three children and it’s the number for Allen Iverson and Dwyane Wade.
If you walked into his dorm room, the first thing you would notice is his keyboard.
Best thing about being a Cardinal is learning from Coach Pitino and the fan base.
What impresses him the most about Coach Pitino: his ability to bring out the absolute best in everyone around him.
Most proud of “being an African American male beating the odds and setting an example.”
Would most like to meet Adam Silver on draft night.
