“AZTECS NEW BEGINNING”
=================

Sean Lewis has arrived as the new football coach at San Diego State.

This will be a new experience, maybe a new era, the debut of ‘Aztecs Air’, this state of the art passing game he perfected at Kent State and brought to Colorado.

That’s not the only thing that is new.  So are 36-new recruits, 20-from the transfer portal, and 16-high school recruits.

Included will be two new QBs, a transfer from Florida State and a passing star from the high school ranks in Indianapolis.

The recruiting list includes justm5-offensive lineman and only 4-on the defensive line, odd, in that SDSU graduated alot and lost a ton in the transfer portal.

To augment his new playbook, he has imported 4-tight ends and 7-wide receivers.

But the real story line will be the importation of QBs AJ Duffy from FSU and Danny O’Neil from the Indianapolis high school ranks.
