CFB insider predicts landing spot for 5-star QB Julian Lewis, and it’s not Deion Sanders’ Colorado

Julian Lewis, the 2025 quarterback out of Carrollton High School, announced his commitment to the USC Trojans on August 22 last year. However, a year later, there are rumors about him decommitting from the Trojans and heading to another school.

The Georgia Bulldogs, the Colorado Buffaloes, the Auburn Tigers and the Indiana Hoosiers, among others, are still in contention to land the five-star prospect.

247Sports' recruiting analyst Tom Loy said:

"The teams to watch – Indiana, Colorado and to a lesser extent, Auburn. So now I'm watching Indiana and Colorado. If I had to pick between the two, I would give the edge to Indiana. I think that staff is doing a phenomenal job. ... I think coach Cignetti is doing a phenomenal job trying to recruit him, treating him like a priority."

The 6-foot QB had an official visit with the Hoosiers in June. Last year, Carrollton had a record of 11-2 with Lewis as their quarterback. The Georgia native completed 186-of-280 passes (66.4%) for 3,094 yards with 48 touchdowns and just two interceptions.

Julian Lewis is ranked No. 22 nationally and the 3rd-best quarterback from the class of 2025, per On3 Industry Rankings. He is also the fourth-best overall prospect from Georgia.

Julian Lewis could become Indiana's first quarterback commit from the class of 2025

The Indiana Hoosiers' class of 2025 is currently ranked No. 50 in the country, per On3 Team Rankings. They are yet to land a quarterback commit from the class of 2025.

The Hoosiers brought in four-star quarterback Tyler Cherry and three-star prospect Alberto Mendoza from the class of 2024. Lewis has a chance to become the Hoosiers' first quarterback commit from the class of 2025. In May, the five-star quarterback talked about his relationship with the team's co-offensive coordinator, Tino Sunseri.

"Coach Tino’s been my guy for a long time," Lewis told On3. "He was like the first guy to really kind of open my dad’s eyes and my eyes to the whole college football thing. They have a great relationship. I probably wouldn’t have thought about it if coach Tino wasn’t there and stuff."

Lewis has also received offers from Georgia, Colorado, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Ohio State and LSU.
