Julian Lewis is a quarterback at Carrollton High School. A five-star recruit and one of the top-ranked candidate for the college football class of 2025. Lewis has given a verbal commitment to the USC Trojans in August. Today Julian took twitter to share his recent achievement of winning a position in TCA All- state selection, saying “Thank you @Atl_TD_Club for the Preseason All-State selection! More work to do! Go Trojans”. Although it’s an enormous achievement for Julian but his tweet on his recent achievement might create a sense of tension for the Buffs, as Deion Sanders wanted him badly. With Shedeur Sanders heading towards the NFL draft next season, Colorado needs a strong QB.

Lewis mentioned his admiration for Buffs quarterback Shedeur Sanders and his outstanding performance at the FBS level.
