Finally, someone said it. There’s never a dull day in Boulder, especially when Deion Sanders is at the helm. The Buffaloes’ quarterback situation has gone from a question mark to a strategic masterstroke, with Sanders not just playing chess but seemingly three steps ahead of the game. Skeptics initially questioned the NFL legend’s decision to bring in another quarterback with 5-Star phenom Julian Lewis already waiting in the wings. It slowly starts to settle as everyone now understands the tactical depth of the old man’s move. Especially this Holland Christian head coach.

Dave Abberger, the Holland Christian head coach and a prominent voice in Michigan as the lead Paster at Hope Church in Zeeland. The Maroons HC became a prime voice behind Coach Prime’s decision. Chimed in on the Buffs’ QB moves, who have now got their QB dilemma sorted and more, they are set for the present and years to come.

“Kaiden Salter and Julian Lewis both with the Colorado Buffs now. Colorado setting themselves up for the next three years at QB. Whether or not Deion stays, it’s going to be an interesting couple of years in Boulder,” Abberger posted on X. He might have made a typo spelling Salter’s name, but his point is as accurate as his throw. Neatly encapsulating the depth of Sanders’ vision. With Kaidon Salter, a seasoned veteran, set to take the reins in 2025, and Julian Lewis, a prodigy in the making, developing within the system.

The decision speaks volumes about the 55-year-old’s approach. The Liberty Flames transfer, with just a year of eligibility remaining, brings immediate stability and leadership to the table to replace Buffs’ current QB1. His experience as a dual-threat quarterback with a knack for thriving in high-pressure situations makes him the perfect bridge to the future. And that future, without a doubt, is Julian Lewis. The elite freshman has all the tools to be the face of Colorado football, and Deion Sanders understands that greatness requires patience. The Michigan high school coach is just one of the voices soon there could be more.

If he leaves, it will be a major blow for the Buffs rather than not making the playoffs in their scintillating regular season. They are currently in San Antonio preparing for their BYU test in the Alamo Bowl. But even if he does, he’ll be securing Boulder’s gun-slinging future in the brightest of hands. The departure of Shedeur Sanders and more this season leaves massive shoes to fill. Yet, with Salter stepping in as a stopgap and Lewis primed to learn and grow, the Buffs look poised to weather the storm.

As Sanders himself has often said, “If you’re going to do something, do it big.” That’s exactly what he’s doing with this two-quarterback approach. He’s not just handing Lewis the keys; he’s giving him a Ferrari and making sure he knows how to drive it before hitting the open road. Colorado football will get a taste of what Julian Lewis can do, even before the 2025 season. That’s because Deion Sanders unveiled an immediate plan for him and his other top transfer portal grab.

Straight to work, Deion Sanders won’t let Lewis and Salter rest

Deion Sanders is gearing up for the future in Colorado, and he has not one but two mobile quarterbacks coming his way. Among them is the highly-touted Lewis, who’s already in Boulder, ready to hit the ground running—literally. Speaking with CBS Colorado, Coach Prime shared his unique plan for Lewis ahead of their matchup with BYU.

“We gonna put his bu** on scout team and let him run against the ones,” Sanders revealed with his signature swagger. You know what it means, right? Lewis will replicate BYU’s offensive scheme in practice, testing Colorado’s starting defense. It’s a classic trial-by-fire approach designed to sharpen Lewis while also keeping the Buffs’ defense on their toes.

Meanwhile, Liberty transfer Kaidon Salter is on his way to join the program after Sanders snagged the talented QB from the portal. “We’re going to see what you got,” Sanders confidently said about Lewis, leaving no doubt that competition will be fierce in Colorado’s quarterback room. So they will be more than mere spectators at the Bowl game, which will be Juju’s first. As Dave Abberger so aptly put it, “Colorado is set.”
