Where Will New 4-Star QB Recruit, Julian Lewis, Play in 2026 When He Transfers From Colorado?

Yesterday I watched clips of Tim Boyle and Drew Lock going through the motions of a lifeless Giants practice and made a decision.

I could either continue pretending to believe Tommy DeVito is better than he actually is—the, maybe, 62nd best QB in the NFL—OR—I could lock in on college football, specifically getting to better know the potential future faces of the New York Football Giants.

So I’m all in on Colorado Football. Go, Coach Prime! or whatever.

And I just saw the news that 4-star recruit and one of the top QBs in high school, Julian Lewis, has committed to Colorado and de-committied from USC.

This is what the plan always was.

This is how Deion Sanders builds a powerhouse in Colorado.

His son, Shedeur—and his other son, Travis Hunter—graduate to the NFL and they’re replaced by the top recruits in the country.

Julian Lewis becomes the first blue chip to commit to Colorado in the modern recruiting era.

Andddddd the very last.

I watched Coach Prime look everyone in the eye and say the lord molded him from clay for the sole purpose of coaching the young black men at Jackson State.

He would shed a single tear and thank Jesus for the opportunity to coach at the only college that mattered. Prime would go into kids homes staple gunned to a homemade cross just so these parents understood how far he was willing to go to use their offspring to further his career.

Then Colorado offered him a job and he left in the middle of the night—along with the most talented players on the team—and moved 1,200 miles away for slightly more dollars and to improve his son’s draft stock. Both sons.

But there’s a 95% chance Deion Sanders plans on joining Shedeur in the NFL.

Deion is charming as hell. He’s spent his entire adult life convincing other humans to purchase various products they may or may not need.

I can already see Deion cornering Giants owner, John Mara, and convincing Mara to make him the next GM/head coach who drafts and coaches his son.

Even if it’s not the Giants, one of these bad teams will convince themselves that the answer to all their prayers is the guy who sells answered prayers in a bottle for three easy payments of $19.99.

Every time the Cleveland Browns called back Deshaun Watson to negotiate a new contract, they had to swipe away new push notifications detailing another and another and another woman saying Watson held them down and forced them to watch him helicopter his itty bitty meat around. The Browns will hire Deion by the end of the weekend if he asks.

Jerry Jones is already printing out tacky images of Deion Sanders to wallpaper his new office.

So what’s next for young Julian Lewis, who 1000% thinks Deion Sanders is about to be his mentor and personally usher his progression into an NFL-starting caliber quarterback when in reality, Coach Prime already has parking space at the Raiders facility?

Let’s hope Julian Lewis has like, a super cool roommate and they become lifelong friends and/or business partners or he meets the love of his life at his freshman psychology course.

Like, I just hope he finds something at Colorado University that brings him peace because if he’s there exclusively to play football for Deion Sanders then, uh, he need not even bother unpacking.
