The Falcons said they were aware of the claims and were gathering information, providing no further comment at the time. Michigan, where Lewis had served as a graduate assistant before being promoted to assistant defensive line coach, called the allegations deeply concerning in a statement obtained by ESPN.
Law enforcement confirms an active investigation into the December 5, 2024 incident in Ann Arbor, and an accuser has sought a protective order. The accuser’s attorney described alleged aggressive behavior and sexual assault occurring after the two connected on a dating app earlier in 2024.
Lewis’s coaching career has included stints with Michigan, Tennessee, the Texans, Titans, and Toledo, with his Michigan tenure preceding his brief Falcons tenure. The case also intersects with personnel developments within Michigan’s program, which recently faced its own firing and culture-review actions involving another staff member.
Fox News Digital did not reach Lewis for comment. The broader investigation and any subsequent actions by the Falcons or Michigan will be watched closely as authorities continue to gather information and the legal process unfolds.
