Julian “JuJu” Lewis, one of the most sought-after 5-star quarterbacks of the 2025 class, is already making headlines. Every team losing their star quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL draft is eyeing him, including Deion Sanders, who will lose Shedeur Sanders, and Kalen DeBoer, who will lose Jalen Milroe. 

However, Lewis, who is committed to USC for now, isn’t shying away from exploring his options. He’s scheduled visits to several schools, including Alabama and Indiana. However, rumors suggest Colorado holds the most appeal, likely because of the influence of Deion Sanders. Lewis has already visited Boulder thrice, but a new uncertainty surrounding the program might give him pause. Amidst that, his upcoming Indiana visit has Colorado fans on edge, wondering if their “prime” target might be slipping away.

Is Coach Prime losing his star recruit to Indiana?

Top recruit Julian Lewis seemed smitten with the Colorado Buffaloes during his visits with Coach Prime. The “warm,” family-like atmosphere resonated with him, and he also bonded with the team’s QB, Shedeur. Soon, the Buffs fans chanted “We want JuJu” across social media, showing their excitement for the new replacement.

But then came a bombshell as rumors swirled that Coach Prime’s time at Colorado might be short-lived.  Some believe he might leave for another program once his sons enter the NFL. This uncertainty throws a wrench into Colorado’s plan to land Lewis. Adding fuel to the fire, Lewis posted on Instagram about a “weekend in Indy,” wearing Indiana uniform, confirming a visit to Indiana. He even gave a thumbs-up to their offensive coordinator, coach Tino Sunseri, saying they’ve known each other “for a long time.” Colorado fans are left on edge, wondering if their top target might be swayed by Indiana, potentially flipping his commitment.

Buffs fans swarm Julian Lewis’ comment section with hashtags and GIFs

Colorado fans quickly flooded Lewis’s comment section, expressing their desire for him to join their team. One fan lamented, “We all know you ain’t going there😭,” while another sarcastically added, “Bro is not going to Indiana😂😂,” confident that he’ll end up with the Buffs.

Meanwhile, a wave of “#wewantjuju 🦬🦬” comments took hold, with some fans even posting GIFs of Coach Prime, star player Shedeur, and even Ralphie, the team’s mascot.

Amidst the excitement, a lone comment struck a different tone. It pointed to Lewis’ newfound fame after he visited with Deion Sanders and noted, “CU buffs. If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t never heard of you. Choose wisely 💯.” Another fan, still processing his Indiana visit, wrote, “Nah this ain’t it .. 🦬🦬🦬🦬.” Now, the final decision rests with Lewis.  It looks like where this coveted quarterback lands will be a source of intense speculation for months to come.
