Julian Lewis’ fans are on a joyride, edging toward the edge of their seats! The reason? The quarterback pledged his allegiance to Lincoln Riley’s USC Trojans last year. But now, whispers of a potential decommitment from USC have been swirling.

Lewis’ actions have fueled this speculation. This year, he started a nationwide tour of schools, including the Auburn Tigers and Deion Sanders‘ Colorado Buffaloes. The Colorado visit was particularly flashy, with the Boulder community welcoming him with open arms and hands festooned with “We Want JuJu” placards. They even dedicated a special cheeseburger in his honor.

While Colorado seems to be the frontrunner, Lewis is yet to reveal his final decision. He stoked the fire with a cryptic message on social media: “We walk to the smoke not away from it. Played against 65 defensive players with D1 offers last season @Carrollton_High #MoreWorkToDo in 2024.”

Lewis’ post has fans scrambling to uncover its meaning. Was it just a boast about his accomplishments, or was a deeper message hidden within? The timing, occurring right after his Colorado visit, certainly enhances the curiosity.

Lewis has already hinted at a final decision “coming soon,” wanting to settle things before his senior year. Until then, fans are going wild over Julian Lewis’ every move. They’re all over college football forums debating where he’ll end up. It’s a real guessing game!

The internet is deciphering Julian Lewis’ enigmatic message

Julian Lewis’ cryptic message sent shockwaves on the internet! Colorado Buffaloes fans flooded the comments with excitement. They used hashtags like #SkoBuffs and even posted the poster of Lewis alongside their QB, Shedeur Sanders, amping up the hype. One enthusiastic Buffs fan wrote how it’s “The type of mentality fit for Coach Prime and CU,” attaching a GIF of Deion saying, “He is Him.” Another cleverly connected Lewis’ message of “not walking away from smoke” to the Buffaloes’ motto to “turn and charge directly into the storm” by posting a Google snippet. 

However, not everyone shared the optimism. One X user sarcastically added, “Sounds like a man ready to decommit from a coach that loves to run from the smoke.” Some saw Lewis’ message as a sign of a potential decommitment from USC. A user commented sarcastically, “He must have heard about USC ducking LSU and Ole Miss smoke,” referencing USC’s canceled games against Kiffin’s teams due to scheduling changes. The Auburn Tigers also entered the conversation with a fan urging Lewis to “show him some love.” With all this back-and-forth, Julian Lewis has certainly created a dramatic situation.
