The recruiting battle is sparking fury not only in CFB but also in high school. The teams are eager to get high-end true freshman players and are trying hard to flip their commitments. One of the highly sought-after players is Julian Lewis, who is getting offers from various programs and also making them go crazy for him. However, with recent events unfolding, it looks like the young player has a team in mind, as he is hinting at his interest in Deion Sanders and the Buffs over other teams.
Today, Carrollton High School’s four-star offensive lineman Zykie Helton took to his official Instagram account to share a post highlighting the names of the teams that are rooting high for them, saying, “TOP 7 👀👀.” The list includes Alabama, Georgia, the Colorado Buffs, Florida State, the Miami Hurricanes, the Indiana Hoosiers, and Texas A&M. But what caught everyone’s attention was his fellow teammate and quarterback Julian Lewis’s cryptic comment on his post. Lewis said, “It’s on!” Interesting, isn’t it?

Well, Julian Lewis is already committed to the USC Trojans, but he recently visited Colorado University for their last game against the Bearcats. After that, there were a lot of rumors circulating around him switching his commitment from the Trojans to the Buffs. However, there is still no confirmation, but this suspicious comment of Julian is making fans go gaga over the fact that he might choose Deion Sanders and his team.
Moreover, getting into Colorado can be smart, with Shedeur Sanders getting drafted next year. He might take over his position. But it won’t be a simple race, as the Indiana Hoosiers are also playing their cards. Let’s see what the fuss is all about.

Newberg said, “Indiana is obviously all in on Julian Lewis right now, five-star quarterback, currently committed to USC. He’s in Colorado this weekend.
