Acaden Lewis, Top PG Prospect, Commits to Villanova

Acaden Lewis, a highly ranked four-star point guard and Washington DC's Gatorade player of the year, has committed to Villanova after decommitting from Kentucky amid backcourt transfer additions there. Lewis, considered one of the top pick-and-roll operators in the 2025 class, cited his longstanding relationship with new Villanova head coach Kevin Willard and the coaching staff as key to his decision. His commitment is seen as a major addition for Villanova in a position of significant need, especially following the departure of key players and a wave of transfers from last season. Willard, who recently took over the program, has been rebuilding the roster with a mix of transfers and high school recruits, with Lewis becoming his highest-ranked recruit this cycle. Lewis joins a retooled Wildcats team aiming to revive its historic program after recent struggles and missing the NCAA Tournament three years in a row. His scoring, playmaking, and multi-year potential are expected to provide immediate and long-term impact for Villanova.
