Julian Lewis won't redshirt freshman season at Colorado

Julian Lewis is competing for the starting quarterback position at Colorado in 2025 as a true freshman.

Lewis will be competing against transfer Kaidon Salter. However, it was rumored that Lewis would redshirt the year, which means Salter will be the starter, but Deion Sanders says that isn't the case.

“Self-explanatory,” Sanders said, via On3. “Nobody said that, man. Nobody said that. That, that’s not our plan. That’s not his plan, but, if it happens, it happens. If he sustains an injury that puts him in that situation? But you never know. I mean, the guy could, could be a two, or he could be a one. I don’t think we’re going to put him in a box like that. We’re not doing that.”

Ultimately, Lewis is still involved in the quarterback battle, and Sanders has been impressed with his play at such a young age.

"He's still a young man," Deion Sanders said of Lewis. "We don't care about the age and the stage, though."

Sanders and Colorado will carry the quarterback competition into fall camp. The Buffaloes won't have to name a starter until their opening game, which will take place on August 29 against Georgia Tech.
