Oklahoma Outside Linebacker Ronnell Lewis Signs With Kelli Masters

Chalk another one up for the former Miss Oklahoma 1997.  Kelli Masters was not finished when she signed University of Texas redshirt Senior fullback Cody Johnson.  In fact, her most recent signing is even more impressive.

In the past, I have discussed how Masters, a graduate from Law School at the University of Oklahoma, is known to focus her recruiting efforts in the Oklahoma/Texas region of the United States and that she has been quite successful over the past few years.  Her newest client is one of those nearby Oklahoma players, and he is an underclassman who has declared early for the draft.  The client is Ronnell Lewis, outside linebacker from Oklahoma.

Masters announced the signing on her Twitter acount.


NFLDraftScout.com ranks Lewis as the 6th best outside linebacker in the 2012 NFL Draft, and the 51st best player overall.  Lewis had 5.5 sacks and 13 tackles for loss in 2011, but missed Oklahoma’s Bowl Game due to academic issues.  He was, however, selected 2011 All-Big 12 Conference First Team by the coaches.
