Freshman Quarterback Julian Lewis Shines at Colorado
In the world of college football, the University of Colorado is buzzing with excitement as highly-touted freshman quarterback Julian Lewis prepares to make his mark. The five-star recruit from Carrollton, Georgia, is poised to challenge for the starting quarterback job, despite being a true freshman.
Lewis, standing at 6'1" and 195 lbs, has already caught the eye of coaches and analysts with his elite mechanics, quick ball release, and composure under pressure. ESPN and Pro Football Focus (PFF) have both named him as one of the top freshmen to watch in 2025.
Despite Kaidon Salter, a 29-game starter from Liberty, rising as QB1 at Colorado, Lewis has pushed hard in camp. His impressive performances have made it clear that he is more than capable of stepping into the starting role.
Deion Sanders, Colorado's head coach, is confident about the 2025 quarterbacks, acknowledging that identifying a starter is one big factor. Sanders and his team are putting both Lewis and Salter in different situations they are comfortable with, implying a potential rotation.
Lewis's talent is such that he is seen as just "one snap away" from starting due to the team's history of offensive line issues that might force a quarterback change. Though he has no official college statistics yet, his football IQ and maturity are widely recognised as assets that will help him quickly adapt at the college level.
Off the field, Lewis has already made a name for himself with notable endorsement deals from Taco Bell and Leaf Trading Cards. He has also earned $1.1 million in NIL money.
As the season approaches, Lewis is expected to begin as a backup but is widely viewed as Colorado's future leader at quarterback. His combination of physicality, smooth mechanics, and mental readiness suggests he has strong potential to grow into a top collegiate quarterback and possibly a key element of Colorado’s offense in the coming years.
With national attention highlighting him as one to watch in 2025 college football, the future looks bright for Julian Lewis at Colorado.
