Carrollton Trojans quarterback Julian Lewis (10) watches from the sidelines against the Westlake Lions during the first half at Grisham Stadium on Oct. 20, 2023, in Carrollton, GA.
Julian Lewis is the rare kind of quarterback prospect who can change the narrative surrounding Colorado football.
The Georgia high school football star reclassified from the Class of 2026 and is ranked as the No. 1 QB in the Class of 2025 by both ESPN and Rivals. Over the last two seasons at Carrollton High School (as a freshman and sophomore), he completed nearly 66% of his passes for a total of 7,212 yards and 96 touchdowns, including 48 touchdowns to just two interceptions in 2023.
It’s no surprise that Lewis is regarded as one of the sport’s brightest young stars and has picked up offers from the top programs in college football: Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Texas, Oregon and many others.
Lewis committed to USC back in August, but that doesn’t mean his recruitment has been shut down. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound QB will take official visits to Indiana (May 31), USC (June 7) and Auburn (June 14) this summer before making a final stop at Colorado (June 21).
Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes getting the last official visit from Lewis could be nothing. It could also be just one of many signs pointing at Lewis flipping his commitment from USC to Colorado.
“I think Colorado has a real shot of landing Julian Lewis,” On3’s national recruiting analyst Phillip Dukes told the Coloradoan. “I wouldn’t be as bold as to put in a prediction but I would say that it would not surprise me by any means if he ended up a Colorado Buffalo.”
Why Colorado makes sense for Julian Lewis
Lewis’ affinity for Colorado is no secret. His June 21 visit will be his third stop in Boulder and he’s been recently spotted working out with a Buffs towel more than once.
But why…
