Julian Lewis had a bit of a rough show in the Georgia State Championship against Grayson, tossing two picks and fumbling the pigskin. After that shaky performance, the haters came out of the woodwork, and doubts started swirling. Carrollton took the L, 38-24, but let’s be real, one game doesn’t define him. This dude is still a top-tier 5-star QB, even if some folks wanna debate whether he’s a 4 or a 5. Now, he’s taking his talent to Boulder with Coach Prime, who’s got a knack for turning potential into prime time. Those little slip-ups? Coach Prime will have that sorted in no time.

JuJu knows exactly how to give it back to critics! It’s not the big talk; it’s the big play. He shows all his skeptics that he is not here for the trash talk, hitting X with his 2024 season stats, which shows Julian is among the Elite 11 QBs of Georgia. “QB’s Yards 2nd Passing TD’s 2nd Completion % 1st Total TD’s 3rd.” Now you know why Julian Lewis chose the Buffs. Yes, you guessed it right; it’s because the Buffs love to shut their trolls with their success.

Moreover, who even should doubt a player like Julian Lewis? JuJu doesn’t have to wait for the rankings; his stats prove his worth. From accumulating a staggering 10,677 passing yards with 142 touchdowns to making a memorable end to his HS season by throwing for 4,118 yards with 48 touchdowns, Julian Lewis is already a shining star. And now this will only increase after he sets the stage for the Buffs.

Well, that is where the concern lies. See, the Buffs have a new QB in town, and that is Kaidon Salter, Liberty’s remarkable player. The lesser-known fact about him is that Kaidon is a two-way player, and his rushing yards are of top-notch quality. And most importantly, he doesn’t carry the tag ‘freshman.’ Well, Kaidon has been showing nothing but excellence with his 1,676 rushing yards, which also makes him second among FBS quarterbacks behind only Army’s Bryson Daily. This sure is a matter of concern for JuJu, but don’t worry; we have Coach Prime to save the day.

Coach Prime’s vision for Julian Lewis

While fans are losing their minds over Julian Lewis’ future spot on the team, let’s not forget this is Coach Prime we’re talking about. Deion Sanders knows how to get the best out of his players. Well, sure, there’s some talk about the competition for starting QB, but that’s just part of the game. And if you think Coach Prime doesn’t have a plan for the future, think again. One example?

Lewis, rocking #10, is in Boulder out there practicing alongside Shedeur Sanders ahead of the Alamo Bowl. Crazy, right? And if you think that came out of the blue, then you are wrong. Just ahead of this week, Coach Prime also made a pretty straightforward stance over Julian’s position on the team. He said, “We are going to put his bu-t on that scout team and let him run against the 1s (starters). We’re going to see if you flinch. We’re going to see what you got. That young man (Lewis) is phenomenal in what he’s done in high school football.”

Even with all the uncertainties surrounding Julian Lewis’s position, Coach Prime has always made his love for Julian Lewis clear. Just think about it: who makes a comparison between a high school player yet to achieve big things in life with his son, Shedeur Sanders, who is already a star performer? Moreover, this shows what JuJu means for the Buffs. And it’s a smart move to keep him under Kaidon Salter, as this will only give him a chance to learn things.

Just like how Arch Manning has been doing it for two years under Quinn Ewers. With Ewers going to the NFL, Manning might be the guy. Okay, now you might think it’s a risky move, putting all your eggs in a freshman’s basket. But Julian Lewis? This kid’s got serious talent. And he’s gonna take over that field sooner rather than later.
