FLAGSTAFF, AZ - Northern Arizona University is mourning the loss of a NAU football legend.

NAU announced Saturday that assistant football coach Jeff Lewis has died.

"Today is a very sad day for the Lumberjack football family," said head coach Jerome Souers in a statement. "Jeff was one of the best Lumberjacks of all time and a valuable member of our program."

Lewis was a quarterback for the Lumberjacks from 1991-1995, and he also was inducted into the NAU Hall of Fame in 2003. Lewis also played in the NFL. He played for the Broncos, Panthers, and Saints. Lewis was part of two Super Bowl teams during his career in the NFL.

Lisa Campos, vice president for Intercollegiate Athletics said in a statement,"This loss is felt throughout NAU Athletics, where Jeff's impact as a player, a coach and an outstanding person will always be remembered."

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.

      If the Canes don't bring back Tyson Jost or Jack Roslovic, is Tanner Jeannot an option? https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2025/06/senators-expected-to-show-interest-in-tanner-jeannot.html
