Five-star high school quarterback Julian Lewis has decommitted from USC and officially committed to Coach Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes. The Georgia native made the announcement on The Pat McAfee Show, explaining that he chose Colorado because Coach Prime’s program prioritizes competition and offers the opportunity to play right away, a key factor for Lewis who wants to avoid sitting on the bench.
This commitment adds to the growing excitement around Colorado’s program, which has dramatically improved under Sanders in just two seasons. With Colorado already bowl-eligible and Sanders promising a national championship run, the addition of Lewis signals continued momentum for the Buffaloes’ future. If they win out, they could even make a run for the College Football Playoffs. This development also strengthens the narrative that Colorado is the new hotbed of college football.
Lewis’ decision to join the Buffaloes further solidifies Sanders’ ability to recruit top-tier talent, despite earlier rumors about Sanders potentially moving to the NFL. With this commitment, it seems clear that the quarterback position after Shedeur Sanders will be in good hands.
