Erik Lewis

Erik Lewis was named the associate head coach of Clemson Gymnastics on May 12, 2022. This is his first year with the Tigers.

Lewis comes to Clemson from Utah State after helping lead the Aggies to their first-ever MRGC conference championship. He coached Brianna Brooks to the highest NQS (National Qualifying Score) and single-season average in program history on the uneven bars. He coached Rebecca Wells who won the all-around title at the conference championship. Under Coach Lewis, freshman Brie Clark became an All-American on the floor exercise. Clark also recorded the highest NQS in program history on floor.

During the 2020 campaign, Lewis helped coach the MRGC Gymnast of the Year (DeHarde) and MRGC Freshman of the Year (Sofi Sullivan). DeHarde also earned MRGC co-beam and co-floor Specialist of the Year accolades, and was named to the first team on both events.

Lewis is no stranger to the area as he spent time as a program director at Roswell Gymnastics in Roswell, Georgia and at Armory Athletics in Montgomery, Alabama.

Lewis graduated from Auburn University at Montgomery in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree in biology with a specialization in Pre-Health Sciences and from Utah State in 2022 with a master’s degree in Sports Management. He hails from Prattville, Alabama.
