San Diego State football head coach Sean Lewis announced the signing of 26 student-athletes on the first day of the early signing period. The class includes 15 offensive players and 11 defensive players, with 14 from California.

San Diego State University is expected to hire Sean Lewis, former head coach at Kent State and offensive coordinator at Colorado, as their new head football coach. Lewis, known for his "FlashFAST" offense, led Kent State to two bowl games and set program records for total yards and points. He recently joined Colorado as offensive coordinator but lost his play-calling duties earlier this month. San Diego State athletic director John David Wicker considered several candidates for the position, including Tony White, Brennan Marion, Ken Niumatalolo, Ryan Grubb, and Brent Vigen.
Kent State finishes the regular season at No. 1 in the Bottom 25 rankings after a 1-11 debut campaign under head coach Kenni Burns. The departure of former head coach Sean Lewis, who led the team to success in previous seasons, resulted in a mass exodus of talent and a return to historical losing ways for the Golden Flashes. Despite the challenges, Kent State is in a good position to win the Bottom 25 Playoff.
Quality control analyst Pat Shurmur has been promoted to a co-offensive coordinator role for the Colorado Buffaloes football team. Shurmur, the former offensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos, will take over play-calling duties and assist with coaching the offensive line. This move comes after head coach Deion Sanders hinted at his dissatisfaction with current offensive coordinator Sean Lewis. Shurmur and Lewis will both have a role in play calling, with Shurmur in the coaches' box and Lewis signaling in plays from the sideline.
Sean Lewis took a risk by leaving his head coaching job at Kent State to become the offensive coordinator for the Colorado Buffaloes. Despite going winless in nonconference games against Power Five schools, Lewis had gained a reputation as an accomplished play caller and offensive wizard. In his first game with Colorado, Lewis helped lead the team to a 45-42 victory over TCU, scoring the most points on the Horned Frogs at their home in five years. Lewis' offensive scheme, influenced by Art Briles, has been successful throughout his coaching career, and he has quickly become a hot commodity in the coaching profession.
