With the Most Accurate Passer title from Elite11 along with 48 touchdowns and 3000+ yards last season, it ain’t no wonder why JuJu fever is on an all-time high. While still committed to the Trojans, every other team on the block wants to take Julian Lewis. However, there’s just one team that is making things much harder for Lincoln Riley. While Riley still has Julian Lewis, with how the times are changing, it won’t take long to see Lewis in black and gold.

And on August 2nd on The Inside Scoop, Josh Newberg and Philip Dukes talk about exactly this. When asked for an update on the flip situation, Dukes had only one thing to say. “If I had to make a bet right now, I think Colorado has a lot of momentum,” he mentioned. Getting JuJu in would be a major win for Coach Prime. That kid already has the most accurate passer title next to only Tavien St. Clair. Not only that, both On3 Sports and 247Sports regard as a 4-star QB him. ESPN puts Lewis as a 5-star QB and the No.2 QB prospect in the 2025 class.

In all honesty, Lewis would also make the perfect replacement for Shedeur Sanders after the 2025 NFL drafts. That kid already has a 66.4% completion rate while also maintaining a 140.1 QB rating. If we bring up Shedeur’s stats from 2023, it paints a similar picture. With 31 touchdowns, 3200+ yards, and a completion rate of 69.3%. Even RJ Young had agreed that JuJu would be the perfect heir to Shedeur. “he has a five-star quarterback coming in as an heir apparent to Shedeur, who has the goods to play right away,” Young had mentioned. It ain’t no wonder why Coach Prime wants him. However, Lewis is not the only one on Deion’s crosshairs.

Deion has his eyes on Oklahoma

Now, Shedeur Sanders won’t be the only one leaving the Buffs after the 2024 season is over. Travis Hunter, Coach Prime’s 2-way star, would also be leaving for the NFL. So what would Deion do now? Well, he has already taken his shot. The 4-star WR from Oklahoma, Cortez Mills, took to X on August 1st to share that Deion Sanders had sent him an invitation to join the Buffs.I would like to extend an offer of full a scholarship to attend the University of Colorado,” the note Mills shared had written on it.

Mills would be a solid replacement for Hunter. Judging from the stats alone, he is placed as the No.15 WR in the entire class of 2025. Following that, he has around 1600+ yards, followed by 18 touchdowns under his belt. Even Josh McCuistion from On3 mentioned how Mills is a stark reminder of Washington star Jalen McMillan. While it still ain’t sure that Lewis or Mills would take up Deion’s offer, if they do, this team would get a whole lot better.
