Colorado quarterback Julian Lewis is likely to be the favorite to take over the team after the departure of Shedeur Sanders.
As Colorado navigates the post-Shedeur Sanders era, it appears they have a guy who can excel not only on the field but also in the classroom.
The Georgia product, who threw for nearly 11,000 yards with 144 touchdowns in his three high school seasons, maintained an impressive GPA of 3.75 while graduating in 2.5 years.
“Yesterday 1st team meeting and today 1st day of classes,” wrote Lewis. “But the thing that doesn’t get talked about is that in spite of all the noise, recruiting, NIL noise, and accolades is that @JulianLewis10 finished HS in 2.5 years with over a 3.75 GPA #TrustGod #KeepWorking.”

Julian Lewis Is The No. 2 Recruit In His Class
Five-star quarterback Julian Lewis was originally committed to USC in August 2023 but de-committed from Lincoln Riley’s class and took his talents to Colorado.
The 2025 ESPN 300’s No. 2 recruit had been on an unofficial visit to Georgia and showed interest in Indiana.
Sanders is starting to become a legend in flipping recruits as he pulled off another recruiting coup when he flipped five-star cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter from Florida State in the class of 2022 and did it again the next cycle, getting cornerback Cormani McClain from Miami.
Originally the top recruit in the class of 2026, Lewis reclassified to the 2025 class in January.
The 6-foot-1, 195-pound QB won’t be handed the job as he will have to fight for the right to replace Shedeur.
