After a wild month of QB drama finally cooling down with Kaidon Salter locking in his spot, here comes Julian Lewis stirring the pot again. His initial practice session with Shedeur Sanders has sparked controversy among fans and critics, who are now questioning the rules and ethics of college commitments. People are wondering if this is even permissible, or if Prime is simply reinventing the playbook. Either way, it’s got everyone talking. Will this move boost Julian’s rep or just add to the chaos? Only time will tell!

Now something different happens with the Buffs, and it doesn’t make it to the headlines. How’s that possible? Deion Sanders made it pretty clear that he has big plans for Julian Lewis. He is going to put him into the scout team, and that’s exactly what he did. JuJu made a recent appearance at one of the practice sessions flaunting his #10 jersey, and now Buffs insider hit X with a video of Julian’s recent practice with the team saying, “🔥 The New #10. QB.” Julian Lewis practicing with the team in San Antonio: some cool warmup positions, I must say. However, it was at that moment the team didn’t know they messed up as fans started questioning their move.

Even if you ignore the early practice sessions with the team, some fans and critics were all over Julian Lewis even before that. We all know it was a night for JuJu while playing against Grayson with all the fumbles and interceptions, but without taking a single moment, they took shots at him despite knowing the fact that this is the same guy who has accumulated 10,677 passing yards with 142 touchdowns and made a remarkable end of his HS season with 4,118 yards with 48 touchdowns, but if at all, it was enough.

However, Julian Lewis exactly knows how to shut down his trolls. Well, not by trash talk, but with his exceptional hold over the game. If you still have any doubts, then wait until you read this. Julian is among the Elite 11 QBs of Georgia; not only that, he also has some impressive rankings to show: “QB’s Yards 2nd, Passing TDs 2nd, Completion % 1st, Total TDs 3rd.” But who cares? All people can talk about is his inconsistency why he is practicing with the team or his future position with the team.

Doubts mount over Julian Lewis’s status

It’s quite evident that even if Deion Sanders sneezes a bit loudly, it will become a reason for a troll for him. Like, come on people, it’s time College Football finds someone else for a change, but never mind. This time it’s Julian Lewis and his early entry into the team. The guy is out there practicing with Shedeur Sanders, learning things, and making his way to the team, but the concern is why he is here before the end of the season. But it looks like it has to do more with the change in the rules than JuJu and the team. This X user highlights the same notion, saying, “This is why NIL is so wrong! How can you practice for another team during the same season?” Plus, how can you miss out on NLI which allows you to practice with your CFB team?

Well, we all know Coach Prime’s always been about breaking the mold, and fans are here for it. Maybe it’s time for other programs to step up and follow suit. See, mostly it depends on the schools if they allow early graduation or depend on their timeline, so it doesn’t seem much of a problem, and even this fan looks skeptical of this fact, saying, “Didn’t know this was ok before the semester starts, but I love it! If it’s not a violation, more teams should take a cue from Colorado and Prime.”

While the NCAA prohibits high school players from engaging in the official practice session in CFB, exceptions exist. Moreover, it seems like a strong move just before the bowl game; this might be a way to keep him stitched to the team, understanding various aspects of the game. This fan is kind of enjoying the whole new wave of change, saying, “All the newbies practicing with the team.”

See, this sudden change has kept not only the fans but the whole CFB world in doubt, but with Julian Lewis, it’s a special case. He’s not officially practicing with the team in the strict sense; he’s more like running scout team stuff, which isn’t exactly breaking the rules. Plus, it’s all part of bowl prep. Even this fan feels a little confused with the whole situation, saying, “Just curious, how are they able to do this? Like high schoolers? Genuinely curious.” Now the bigger concern is that even after all this effort, if JuJu fails to meet Coach Prime’s expectations, that would make the situation even more complicated.
