“B**t Kissed by a Trainer or Coach”: After Julian Lewis’ ‘Phenomenal’ USC Visit, Father Delivers Brutal Assessment Before Colorado Visit

Julian Lewis can easily boast about his stupendous football career thus far! In 2022, Lewis joined Carrollton HS to lead his team to a 14-1 record by completing 65.5% of his passes for 4,118 yards and 48 touchdowns. The fruitful debut year earned him the title MaxPreps National Freshman of the Year. The talented quarterback followed this freshman success with more accolades.

As a starter in 2023, he went 11-2 by completing 66.4% for 3,094 yards and 48 touchdowns, leading his team to Georgia’s AAAAAAA quarter-finals. He was named MaxPreps National Sophomore of the Year, a final contender for the Gatorade National Player of the Year award, and Region Offensive Player of the Year for the second straight season. It’s no wonder why he’s one of the highest-touted players of the 2025 class.

Let’s hear it from his father how Julian Lewis is so successful. 

TC Lewis reveals the secret behind Julian Lewis’ success

T. Carlton Lewis recently took to X to reveal the secret of how he shaped his son Julian to be so successful. The answer is “Honest evaluation!” He has raised his football star son the right way as he said, “I’ve surrounded him with people who tell him the truth. There’s zero benefit to having your sons b**t kissed by a trainer or coach. I’d rather pay for honesty!”

Lewis spoke like the influential father he is who wants nothing more than to see his son thrive on top by learning from the best mentors who give their real piece of mind. This revelation came after Julian Lewis’ recent official visit with USC on June 7, with whom he committed last season. His father said of the visit which was a first since spring, “I’m telling you it was phenomenal. Everything was phenomenal.”

On June 21, the Carrollton HS star, who is a high-ranked player, will make another official visit to Colorado. 

Colorado’s future with Julian Lewis

Coach Prime and the Buffs should know by now what Julian Lewis’ father expects them to be around his son. The Buffs are already enamored with the elite player who would be the perfect replacement for Shedeur Sanders when he leaves for the NFL in 2025. The upcoming visit would be his third and final visit to Boulder before he reveals his commitment. 

On3 VP of Recruiting, Steve Wiltfong, previously stated his confidence in the Buffs’ pursuit of Julian Lewis. He said, “Don’t sleep on the Buffaloes, man. That’s gonna be a third visit to Colorado for Julian Lewis the next time he gets on campus this year.” Will Coach Prime be able to flip the interest and commitment of this potential Shedeur Sanders’ replacement from the USC?
