Julian Lewis lands a massive deal—Is Deion Sanders the ultimate mentor for young athletes?

A Julian Lewis chant, celebrity-level red-carpet treatment, and a burger named after him: Julian Lewis was hyped with the best official visit experience that CFB has ever seen, which created a huge buzzing hype surrounding him. Yet, none of it sold ‘JuJu’ in joining Colorado. Amid all of this, there was something, or rather someone, who instantly became an instant hotshot in the NIL market, thanks to CU head coach Deion Sanders: Julian Lewis.

Along with some great (and partly desperate) offers, Julian Lewis earned some solid fame, thanks to all the hype that top seeds, majorly the one that Deion Sanders and Co. at Colorado magically created surrounding him. Capitalizing on this frenzy, Julian Lewis got his hands on some major NIL deals, enough to make even the experienced CFB players jealous. Ranked 19th on ON3’s NIL Top 100 chart with his remarkable $2.1 million NIL valuation, Julian Lewis has announced yet another partnership with ‘Jaxxon’ a jewelry brand specializing in men’s accessories.

Lewis took to his Instagram to make an announcement of his NIL deal on July 12, posing with a shiny silver chain from the brand. “@jaxxon is still the only move!🔥,” captioned Lewis. Founded in 2018, Jaxxon has raised about $10 million in funds. No wonder Lewis already boasts an NIL profile worth millions when he hasn’t even stepped foot on the giants of the industry.

Julian Lewis’s massive NIL deals

As he prepares for his final year in high school, Julian Lewis can leave the worrying for his college days aside. One is because he has already settled things down with his dream coach, Lincoln Riley. And two, he has already built a stunning Name, Image, and Likeness profile.

Just earlier this month, JuJu announced his fresh partnership with the athleisure heavyweight Under Armour for their ‘Back to School‘ campaign. Besides Jaxxon and Under Armour, Lewis’s NIL profile is also decorated with AloYoga and a six-figure deal with Leaf Trading Charts. This profile is only expected to grow once he completely steps into the world of college football with USC. Or will it be Colorado?

What’s your perspective on:

Julian Lewis lands a massive deal—Is Deion Sanders the ultimate mentor for young athletes?

Have an interesting take?

The fans expected an answer from Lewis about Colorado, but they have nothing yet. Whether Lewis will flip to Colorado or not remains a huge mystery. Worse yet, Lewis is still open to considering other colleges. Earlier this month, Lewis subtly teased Colorado by posting a picture on his Instagram clad in an Indiana uniform paired with an Auburn University football. He was even kissing the football in a picture. The chase of other universities in the JuJu race has not been a secret, but Colorado’s chase has been the most talked about of them all.

Do you believe that Colorado still has a chance with Julian Lewis? Let us know in the comments.
