Marcus Lewis spent the 2021 season with the Ottawa REDBLACKS, appearing in four games and collecting nine tackles following his release in October.

At the collegiate level, Lewis played two seasons with the University of Maryland racking up 44 total tackles, two interceptions, six pass breakups, and one fumble recovery over 16 games. The Washington D.C. native played his freshman and sophomore years with Florida State, accumulating 21 tackles, two pass breakups, one tackle for loss, one interception and a fumble recovery with the Seminoles before transferring for his junior year.
