Colorado's selection of a quarterback under Deion Sanders' guidance is facing moreComplex challenges than in previous years
As the 2025 season approaches, the Colorado Buffaloes are in a unique position, with head coach Deion Sanders yet to officially name a starting quarterback between transfer Kaidon Salter and freshman sensation Julian Lewis. Both players are vying for the coveted position, each bringing their own set of skills to the table.
Kaidon Salter, a seasoned transfer from Liberty, is known for his dual-threat capabilities. His ability to both throw and run the football makes him a formidable force on the field. Over the last two seasons with Liberty, Salter amassed an impressive 66 total touchdowns, with 47 passing and 19 rushing[1].
On the other hand, Julian "JuJu" Lewis, a highly regarded freshman, is prized for his pure, powerful arm. His talent has earned him the label of a “phenom” passer[1][2]. Lewis, a five-star recruit from Carrollton High School in Georgia, threw for an impressive 11,010 yards in high school[1].
Coach Sanders has expressed no rush to commit to either player and has hinted at the possibility of a creative rotation between them[2]. This approach has been welcomed by Sanders, who sees the competition as beneficial for both players, stating that both Salter and Lewis can play well[1].
Team-mates have publicly endorsed both players, highlighting Salter’s wisdom and Lewis’s raw talent[1]. However, the final decision might not be made even by the season opener against Georgia Tech on August 29, 2025[2].
Coach Sanders has high praise for Lewis, stating that he loves everything about him and believes Lewis will "soar" when it's his turn to play[1]. Despite the competition, Lewis and Salter have formed a strong bond off the field, discussing more about life than football[3].
Notably, Shedeur Sanders, who was previously playing for Colorado, is no longer with the team as he embarks on his professional journey[4].
As the countdown to the season opener continues, fans are eagerly waiting to see who will take the field as the starting quarterback for the Colorado Buffaloes. The competition between Salter and Lewis promises to add an exciting dimension to the upcoming season.
