Julian Lewis’s rising stakes

Not only is this 17-year-old player one of the top players of the Carrollton Trojans but also an emerging high-stakes prospect in college football. Julian Lewis has already given his commitment to the Trojans; however, that didn’t stop him from turning heads of the other prestigious programs. Colorado Buffs head coach Deion Sanders has made it quite evident that Julian is his flip target. He was even seen in the Buffs Saturday game against the Bearcats visiting them.

Well, there is still no confirmation from Julian Lewis’s side if he is really considering the Buffs for a switch or not. But choosing them will only enhance his CFB journey, as he could serve as a possible starting quarterback for the team. With Buffs star quarterback Shedeur Sanders playing his last season, Julian can be a perfect player to take over his position. Coach Prime is doing everything in his control to make sure that Lewis flips his commitment towards them. Now it’ll be interesting to see which team will be the ultimate destiny for Julian.
