Julian Lewis, the star quarterback for Carrollton and a five-star recruit for the Colorado Buffs, is causing quite a stir with his choice to join Deion Sanders’ team. This decision is a testament to why they selected him over all other options. Lewis not only showcases incredible talent while playing for his high school team but also generates a growing sense of anticipation among fans for the upcoming showdown next year. However, is it too early to make assumptions about whether Lewis truly possesses the qualities necessary to become a standout player in college football?

Well, one such example of excellence Julian showed today while playing against Valdosta, which not only gave them a lead over them but also added value to their victory. Today draft analyst Andy took to X to share Lewis’ jaw-dropping moment, saying, “Julian Lewis’ night is done; he put up 4 TDs and led Carrollton to an astounding 49-13 victory over Valdosta.” Well, four touchdowns in a single game; Julian’s gameplay is a real threat, not a mere assumption.

Now you can understand why the Buffs were so desperate to get Julian Lewis into their team. Plus Julian Lewis’ performance against Valdosta also, in a way, broke Shedeur Sanders’s 3-touchdown record in the Buffs’ last game against Utah, which is why he is a perfect replacement for him. Moreover, his hold over the game is evident since the moment he joined Carrollton High School, impressing everyone with his single-caller abilities.

This not only gave the Carrollton Trojans football team an edge but also caught the eyes of NFL star player Derwin James, who is really impressed with his hold over the throws JuJu makes, and he even called him “scary” for other teams. Now that Julian is going to begin his new journey with Deion Sanders and the team, let’s see what they might be planning for him.

Coach Prime’s hot take: is Julian Lewis the next big thing?

Deion Sanders’s longtime desire to get Julian Lewis to Boulder finally meets its happy ending. The urge to get Lewis was not just the result of Buffs star quarterback Shedeur Sanders leaving next year but also of the compassion and natural talent Lewis poses. And his performance in the 2024 season is the prime example of his exceptional hold over the game. In the ongoing high school season, Julian completed 186 out of 280 passes for 3094 yards with 48 touchdowns and two interceptions for Carrollton School. Now just imagine what magic his presence in the Buffs rooster can create next year.

Even Coach Prime cannot wait but express his excitement to get Julian Lewis into their team. While talking about his gameplay and overall nature, Sanders said, “We know that’s been in the works for quite some time. Great kid, great talent. I like the qualities and the home structure. And I can’t wait to be a part of his life and coach him.”

We all know Prime Time’s ability to build his program from scratch, and the Buffs’ success this season is the perfect representation of what quality looks like over quantity. Now that Julian Lewis is finally part of the team, let’s see if we can get another top Heisman contender from the team in the future.
