Julian Lewis Pens Heartfelt Note to His Father on His Special Day Ahead of Crucial Colorado Visit

The Julian “JuJu” Lewis fever is on! Have you ever wondered who the football star considers his GOAT in real life? It’s none other than his father. As the USC Trojans quarterback is enjoying another breakthrough in his career, he indulges in doing something special instead of worrying about his future.

The five-star quarterback visited Indiana last weekend, and now he shared some pictures with his father, T.C. Lewis, on X. Of course, June 3 was special as it marked Lewis’ father’s birthday. Before the wish came, the QB was spotted doing something grand for his father. 

Julian Lewis makes a special post for father while juggling visits

Lewis has etched a name for himself this season, and college football programs are banking on his last two seasons at Carrollton High School (as a freshman and sophomore), where he had a completion rate of 66%. With this, the exceptional talent received attention from elite college football programs. He is managing the visits well and has evolved in multitasking as he ensured to celebrate his father’s birthday amidst his hectic schedule. In the post with the caption, “Happy birthday to the GOAT (emoji),” Lewis and his father’s strong bond is something that fans could notice at first. 

Fans are often gaga about the player’s on-field antics, but few talk about his success in NIL space. Benefitting from Georgia High School Athletic Association’s recent policy change, which now allows high school players to profit from NIL, Lewis secured a six-figure contract with Leaf Trading Cards. The other endorsement deals followed were with the lifestyle brand Alo Yoga and the jewelry brand Jaxxon.

The Trojans QB indulged this victory by making his father feel special as he purchased his first car and one for his dad. Now, the next question is whether the father-son bond will propel Lewis toward making a crucial step by committing to Colorado out of all the programs. Wondering why?  

Will a personal connection forge Lewis’ path to Colorado?

T.C. Lewis and Deion Sanders share a personal connection and trust. Moreover, the familial environment in Colorado could be what sets the Buffs over the top.

Now that Lewis will take up Shedeur Sanders’ position if he joins Coach Prime’s program, On3’s national recruiting analyst Phillip Dukes has pointed out a similarity. “The father-son relationship that Deion Sanders has with his son, Shedeur, is very similar to the relationship of T.C. Lewis and Julian. T.C. has been in his life the whole time and he’s basically bred Julian for this moment, the same way Deion basically bred Shedeur,” commented Dukes. On the other hand, the quarterback’s affinity for Colorado is no secret; June 21 will mark his third stop in Boulder. 

Lewis posted a picture of his father and Deion Sanders on X with the caption, “Thanks for always caring about what’s best for me.” Hence, while he was spotted working out in Buffs’ towel earlier, will the fans see him in a black and gold jersey this time? June 21 has all the answers.
