It seems like fate has a plan for the city of Boulder, as Shedeur Sanders isn't the only one with impeccable timing. After the University of Colorado's impressive win over Utah, propelling them towards the top of the Big 12 standings with an 8-2 record, four-star high school quarterback Julian "Ju Ju" Lewis announced he was re-opening his recruitment and turning away from his commitment to USC.
In the world of sports, coincidences are often few and far between, and this is no exception. National recruiting analyst with 247Sports, Greg Biggins, shares the same sentiment. He believes that CU has been the top choice for Lewis even before he de-committed from USC. Biggins also praises Lewis for being the most ready to play quarterback in his class, with advanced skills, high football IQ, and the ability to adapt to complex playbooks.
Adam Gorney, national recruiting director with Rivals and Yahoo Sports, shares a similar view. While he doesn't discount the possibility of Lewis choosing Georgia until National Signing Day, he has heard reports that the young quarterback is leaning towards the Buffaloes. Gorney also notes that Lewis would be a great fit for CU's offensive coordinator, Pat Shurmur, and the opportunity to take over for Shedeur Sanders is a huge factor in his decision.
Brandon Huffman, 247Sports' longtime national recruiting editor, also believes that CU has the upper hand in the recruitment of Lewis. He points out that the Buffaloes offer a quicker path to playing time, especially with Shedeur Sanders on track for an NFL career. On the other hand, Georgia already has a talented quarterback roster, and Indiana's impatience may have played a role in Lewis' decision to re-open his recruitment.
It's safe to say that things are looking up for CU and their recruitment of Julian Lewis. The young quarterback has a stellar record and is highly regarded by 247Sports, ranking 34th nationally for the Class of '25. Andrew Ivins from the same site describes Lewis as a precise passer, a crafty mover in and out of the pocket, and a true escape artist.
It's almost like Lewis is the perfect match for the Buffaloes. Although it's not a done deal yet, the rumors surrounding his potential commitment to CU have been circulating for months. The Buffs pulled out all the stops during Lewis' official campus visit in June, rolling out the gold carpet and even having him sit on the Sanders family throne while Shedeur handed him a set of keys.
Those keys represent so much more than just a symbolic gesture. They represent the keys to the kingdom, the legacy, and the future of the family. And with a young left tackle already on the team, the future looks bright for the Buffaloes.
Brandon Huffman believes that if Lewis ultimately chooses CU, it would be a great sign for the program. He's always been a firm believer in actions speaking louder than words, and Lewis' actions seem to indicate that he's serious about playing for Coach Prime. Even though there are still questions surrounding Sanders' future at CU, Lewis' commitment would show that he trusts Prime's coaching abilities and believes he can make an immediate impact as a freshman.
However, Greg Biggins also points out the elephant in the room - Deion Sanders' potential departure from CU after 2025, when Shedeur and other top recruits are expected to join the NFL. But with Lewis in the mix, the math changes. Coach Prime will have his pick of the transfer portal every year, and his sales pitch is now even stronger, with the added bonus of potentially winning Big 12 titles.
It's clear that Lewis' potential commitment to CU means more than just having a talented quarterback on the team. It shows that Coach Prime is in this for the long haul and is serious about building a sustainable program. And with Lewis' impressive skills and potential, he could prove to be the perfect successor to Shedeur Sanders and continue the Buffs' rise to success.
In the world of sports, anything can happen, and the unexpected is always right around the corner. But for now, it seems like fate has brought Julian Lewis and the University of Colorado together, and the future looks bright for both parties.
