Colorado five-star quarterback signee Julian Lewis partook in the warming-up practice ahead of the Alamo Bowl with transfer quarterback Kaidon Salter. Lewis and Salter, being new arrivals at Boulder, will not play in the bowl game against BYU. However, the two will be Deion Sanders’ primary quarterback options next season, and the video of their warm-up practice is garnering reactions online.

Why Julian Lewis was throwing with his left hand
Julian Lewis broke his throwing hand ahead of Carrollton High School’s matchup with Grayson High School in the Georgia 6A championship game on Dec. 18. The standout Carrollton quarterback played in the championship game despite his injured hand, leading his team to a painful 38-24 loss to Grayson.
Notwithstanding, the loss was not enough to soil Lewis’ impeccable legacy as he bowed out of high school football. The Colorado signee had an impressive senior season with a 75.8% completion rate as he passed for 3,272 yards and 44 touchdowns. The five-star prospect passed for over 7,000 yards and 96 touchdowns over two years.
He cemented his place as one of the top quarterbacks of the 2025 class despite reclassifying from the 2026 class. He was one of the most sought-after prospects in the class, attracting the attention of the nation’s top programs, including USC and Colorado.
Julian Lewis flipped his commitment from USC to become the jewel of Coach Prime’s 2025 high school recruiting class for the Buffs. With the Buffs’ star quarterback, Shedeur Sanders headed for the NFL, Lewis is expected to lead Colorado’s offense next season.
