Deion Sanders is living in his head rent-free. See, Julian Lewis is the “IT” factor for a lot of teams, and for good reason. Lewis is the No.9 QB prospect in the entire country and has 5 stars to his name. It ain’t no wonder why everyone wants him. The first to the race, however, were USC and the Buffs. While Julian Lewis is still committed to the Trojans, the recent moves he has been making have had fans thinking otherwise. Juju was spotted at the sideline during the Buffs vs Bearcats showdown he looked like he was in shock watching Coach Prime take a win over Cincinnati. Kind of started making people think that Lewis might flip back to Deion Sanders.
However, it doesn’t look like that will be the case. Lewis shared a snap of himself on his Instagram story and also tagged University of Georgia on it. This is a nod to his recent visit to UGA. BUT, as we pointed out before, Deion lives in Juju’s head rent-free cause back on X, David revealed that in the initial story that Lewis had shared, he had tagged the University of Colorado Boulder on it. “Julian Lewis was on campus for Colorado’s win👀👀,” Davis mentioned in the caption of his post.

While Lewis did quickly fix his mistake by taking off that story and putting up a new one, this entire debacle does point to a new contender in the race to grab Juju. With Kirby Smart now gunning for the kid, it will be hard for Deion to regain his momentum.
From a career standpoint, Dawgs makes more sense. They have a much stronger program and getting Juju on would give Smart the perfect replacement for Carson Beck. See, the only problem with Georgia right now is the fact that their offense has been abysmal.
Beck has been on a steady decline with zero signs of improvement. The latest loss to Ole Miss is a stain Smart won’t be able to wash off for years to come. And now, as the Bulldogs take the turf against the Vols in a few hours, if Smart loses this as well, their playoff dream is out of the question. However, while the Buffs and the Dawgs play tug of war for Lewis, there is another team that made a massive Chad move.

Indiana Hoosiers are out
10-0. It is hard to imagine that this is the same team that was 3-9 last year. The rise of the Hoosiers has to be one of the best underdog stories this season and behind it all is the HC Curt Cignetti. This man has managed to turn the team’s offense and defense around and with Kurtis Rourke leading the charge, it does not look like Hoosiers are going to stop anytime soon.
Now, this brings us to the latest development. See, Hoosiers were also in the race to grab Lewis but now? After the dominating season, they feel like they don’t even need that kid on the roster. “Indiana will no longer recruit 5-star QB in 2025, Julian Lewis,” Hoosiers Recruiting mentioned on their Instagram story.

What was their reasoning behind this move? Well, “having a starting freshman at QB isn’t the move.” Ouch. Maybe, at this point, Lewis is just wasting away his options but who knows? Maybe the kid will return to Coach Prime or maybe he will stick with the Trojans. Whatever the outcome might be, we all know that he is going to do justice to that team.
