Five-star QB Julian Lewis Commits to Colorado Buffaloes for 2025
Five-star quarterback Julian Lewis, a highly sought-after recruit from Carrollton, Georgia, has officially committed to play for the Colorado Buffaloes in the 2025 season. Lewis, who recently decommitted from the University of Southern California (USC), made his announcement during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.” He ranked as the No. 2 quarterback in the 2025 ESPN 300 and is considered a potential transformational player for Colorado under coach Deion Sanders.
At 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds, Lewis made headlines by reclassifying from the 2026 recruiting class to 2025. In his sophomore season, he showcased his exceptional skills by completing 186 of 280 passes for 3,094 yards, throwing 48 touchdowns against just two interceptions. His remarkable performance earned him the title of MaxPreps National Sophomore of the Year.
His decision comes at a critical time for Colorado, which is looking to fill the starting quarterback position following the anticipated departure of Shedeur Sanders, Deion’s son, for the NFL Draft. Lewis expressed his eagerness to compete for the starting role and noted the unique opportunity of succeeding such a successful player. He was drawn to Colorado not only for its rising football program but also for the chance to work closely with both Coach Sanders and offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur.
Throughout his recruitment process, Lewis visited several schools, including Colorado, Georgia, and Indiana. However, he ultimately felt that Colorado offered him the best chance to showcase his talents from day one. His commitment marks a significant recruiting victory for Sanders, who has been actively reshaping the Buffaloes’ roster since taking over as head coach.
With Lewis joining the ranks, Colorado aims to further bolster its team, which currently ranks high in the Big 12 standings. As he looks forward to his college career, Lewis’s commitment is expected to attract more top recruits to the program, solidifying Colorado’s position in upcoming recruiting classes.
