Zeiko Lewis (Berkshire ’13) – MLS with New York Red Bulls

Posted on February 3, 2017 by Charles Bour

Former Berkshire School standout Zeiko Lewis was selected in the first round of the MLS SuperDraft by the New York Red Bulls. He was the 17th overall pick and the first for the Red Bulls. Lewis is the second player from Berkshire School in the past two years to be drafted into the MLS, joining his former teammate Jack Harrison who know plays for New York City FC.

During his time at Berkshire School, Lewis was a three-sport varsity athlete (soccer, basketball, and track), and in his senior year was elected to be the Head Prefect and won the Male Athlete of the Year and Headmaster’s Prize at graduation. On the soccer field, he led Berkshire to an undefeated season and it’s first New England Class A Championship, and along the way he shattered the all-time scoring record, notching 33 goals in 21 games. He was the runner-up for the Massachusetts Gatorade Player of the Year and earned two separate All-American honors.
