High school football phenom Julian Lewis is no stranger to the spotlight, and with his 5-star ranking, it’s easy to see why he’s the hottest name in recruiting. Coaches from the Big 12 to the SEC are lining up to win over this prized quarterback. Now reclassified to the 2025 class, the stakes are higher than ever. His recent decision to de-commit from USC after a year-long pledge has set the college football world on fire.

But amidst all the hype, Lewis remains locked in. The Carrollton Trojan QB just hit an incredible milestone—10,000 career passing yards—and made sure to celebrate in style. He dropped a cryptic IG post captioned, “Yk how we get down! 💰 Trojan nation let’s ride!” Meanwhile, his team is riding high with an 11-0 perfect streak, earning Carrollton High School the No. 5 spot in MaxPreps’ Week 14 rankings. Now his college destination is again up in the air, and the rumor mill is spinning fast. Boulder? Athens? Fans are already battling over who gets their future star.

According to insiders, the Colorado Buffs appear to be the frontrunner in this high-stakes battle, led by none other than Deion Sanders. The Buffs are banking on their resurgent momentum under Coach Prime to seal the deal. Meanwhile, Georgia’s Kirby Smart isn’t backing down, aiming to keep the home-state star within the Bulldogs powerhouse program. Julian Lewis’ senior season stats—2,842 passing yards, 40 touchdowns, and just four interceptions—justify the heated competition. Ranked No. 6 in the newly released five-star rankings, his potential could reshape whichever program lands him.

Lewis has already gone down to the Boulder a couple of times now. The most eye-catching was where he spent time with Coach Prime and Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders and visited a local restaurant that served a hamburger bearing his own name. That could be one reason to go to Colorado. But who’s gonna tell the Georgia fans?

Colorado and Georgia fans’ crusade over Julian Lewis

The internet erupted after Lewis’ gram post commemorating his historic career yardage. The comments section quickly became a battleground for fans from Colorado and Georgia, with Indiana diehards throwing in their two cents. One Buffs fan pledged, “If you commit to Boulder, I will run a mile,” encapsulating the cult-like following Sanders has cultivated in Colorado.

Another remarked on the visual serendipity of Lewis’ high school uniform, saying, “Bro honestly everything about this picture says Colorado family! Even if you look at the uniform you have on real fast you would think it said Colorado on the front of it.” And with loads of Black and Gold fans hoarding the comment section with, “Sko Buffs.”

Georgia fans, however, were equally vocal. One fan already started their party by writing, “UGA ❤🤍🖤.” While another declared calling him by his nickname to add a little personal touch to his arrival, “Juju u a dawg.” And someone literally commanded him, “Commit to the G,” like his parents. The Bulldog faithful are banking on their program’s No.3 ranking to lure Lewis into their fold. It’s no surprise, given Kirby Smart’s knack for developing elite talent.

While fans continue their comment-section crusades, Lewis is likely weighing far more significant considerations. For now, we wait, refresh Instagram, and watch the drama unfold.
