A dominant presence on the court during his two-year career with the Nanooks, Darryl Lewis, Sr. made an immediate and lasting impact as a forward through his athleticism, leadership, and all-around production. The 6'4" standout from Columbus, Ohio appeared in 55 games from 1985 to 1987, amassing 829 points and 412 rebounds—averaging 15 points and 7.5 boards per game. Lewis led the Nanooks in both scoring and rebounding during his junior season, posting 16.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, while also leading the team in blocks. As a senior, he added another 384 points and 184 rebounds to his total, once again proving to be a consistent and reliable contributor on both ends of the floor. A team captain and winner of the team's Most Inspirational Award, Lewis was recognized as an Honorable Mention selection to both the All-Great Northwest Conference and All-West Region teams in 1986–87. A three-time GNC Player of the Week, he ranks 32nd all-time in scoring and 21st in rebounds at Alaska, cementing his legacy as one of the program's most impactful front court players.
