Coach Primе’s potеntial QB hеir: USC Julian “JuJu” Lеwis

According to a report by Blue Blood Bias, Julian “JuJu” Lewis will be visiting Colorado this weekend. He was earlier the top recruit in the 2026 class, but later reclassified to the 2025 class in mid-January. Although Lewis is currently committed to USC, he has been exploring other options, and Colorado has emerged as a strong contender. With star quarterback Shedeur Sanders poised to enter the NFL Draft in 2025, Lewis presents an ideal succession plan for the Buffs. Coach Prime reportedly had a strategic dinner meeting with Lewis and his father to make a compelling case for committing to Colorado.

Julian Lewis is currently ranked as the #9 player in the 2025 recruiting class and holds the #4 QB spot. He is also the #3 player in the state of Georgia. Despite his commitment to USC, Lewis has scheduled visits to Auburn, Colorado, and Georgia, indicating that the recruitment process is far from over. “The No. 4 QB in the Class of 2025 Julian Lewis (USC commit) has scheduled visits for Auburn, Colorado, and Georgia,” stated a tweet from 247 Sports. Coach Prime reportedly had a strategic dinner meeting with Lewis and his father to make a compelling case for committing to Colorado.

Can “Primе Effеct” bag this 5-star gеm?

It seems that Coach Prime Sanders is continuing his trend of securing surprise 5-star commitments each season. The latest additions to his list include WR/CB Travis Hunter in 2022, CB Cormani McClain in 2023, and OL Jordan Seaton in 2024. With multiple schools showing interest in Lewis, a high-stakes recruitment battle is expected. However, Deion Sanders’ “Prime Effect” could potentially sway Lewis toward the Buffaloes.

Initially committed to Lincoln Riley’s USC, Lewis decided to reclassify and throw his hat into the ring for the 2025 class. Standing at 6 feet 1 inch and weighing 185 pounds, Lewis has climbed the ranks quickly and now holds the second spot for 2025 quarterbacks, as per the 247Sports Composite. Lewis is a promising athlete who gained recognition for his outstanding performances at Carrollton High School. In 2022, he was awarded the title of MaxPreps National Freshman of the Year, and last season, he emerged as a finalist for the Gatorade National Player of the Year.

Colorado offered him a spot on their team in January 2023, and now they are in a prime position as Lewis considers the possibility of joining them. Head Coach Deion Sanders and his staff are on the verge of securing a game-changing talent for the Buffaloes.
