IN PHOTOS: 5-star QB Julian Lewis announces partnership with $2.79 billion worth Under Armour

Five-star quarterback Julian Lewis, a Southern California commit, has been busy. He visited the Colorado Buffaloes on June 21 and the USC Trojans on June 7. Now, he has to make a big decision about where he'll play college football.

Meanwhile, Lewis has announced a new partnership with sportswear giant Under Armour, valued at $2.79 billion (per Companies Market Cap). On his social media, Lewis posted stylish photos with the brand, captioned:

“Blessed #KeepWorking @UnderArmour #BackToSchool.”

Lewis has a name, image and likeness (NIL) valuation of $1.2 million, according to On3, with deals from Leaf Trading Cards, Cactus Jack and Alo Yoga.

In February, he participated in the Under Armour Next Series event in Atlanta. Lewis looked comfortable and confident in this environment, as per the On3 report.

In June, Lewis visited the Auburn Tigers and Indiana. Being the closest to his home, Auburn might be a strong contender if it is serious about challenging USC for his commitment.

According to On3, Julian Lewis had an impressive freshman year, completing 65.5% of his passes for over 4,100 yards and 48 touchdowns, with only 12 interceptions. He led his team to the state finals.

Currently committed to USC, Lewis spoke with BuffZone's Brian Howell, on Colorado's coaching:

“The biggest difference (from January) is we all know each other better,” Lewis said. “Coach Prime isn’t the kind of person to tell you what you want to hear. Coach Pat (Shurmur) isn’t a recruiter, either. He comes from the NFL, so that’s probably the biggest difference.”

After Lewis reclassified to the 2025 class in January, Deion Sanders’ Buffs ramped up their recruitment.

“Schools started asking me to (reclassify) and then my dad and I started talking about it,” QB Lewis said. “We talked to my trainers and my high school coach, Joey King, about it. Everyone said I was ready, so we decided to do it.”

Over the past two years, Lewis has thrown for 7,212 yards, 96 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
