Dylan Lewis – Florida Tech (Men’s Soccer)
The only Florida Tech men’s soccer player to have his number retired, no. 3, Dylan Lewis was also the only Panther to contribute to Florida Tech’s 1988 and 1991 NCAA Division II National Championship teams. The best defensive player to ever wear the crimson and gray, Lewis was named the Adidas/ISAA Player of the Year in 1991, as well as the NCAA Division II Championship Defensive MVP. Originally from Wales, Lewis was a big part of the Panthers’ success in making it to the NCAA Division II Regional every year from 1987-94. Florida Tech claimed the Sunshine State Conference championship each year Lewis was on the team from 1988-91, as he garnered All-American honors in 1991, All-South Region in 1991, All-State FISCA in 1990-91 and All-SSC in 1989-91. The 1991 team MVP’s biggest game came his senior season when he recorded a hat trick to defeat Virginia Tech and win the Florida Tech Tournament. Lewis found the back of the net 18 times in his career and is tenth in the Panther record book for career assists with 31. He graduated with honors in applied mathematics in 1991 and went on to play professionally for the Orlando Lions. Lewis was a member of the 2003 SSC Silver Anniversary Men’s Soccer Team and is now teaching at Sebastian Private School. Lewis becomes the third Florida Tech men’s soccer player to join their coach, Rick Stottler, in the SSC Hall of Fame.
