The five-star recruit out of Carrollton High School (GA) posted the picture on his X (formerly Twitter) account with the caption, “New Beginnings.” The post has garnered various reactions from fans on the social media platform.

A Colorado fan, spoke about Shedeur Sanders and wrote:

“That’s my QB.”

Another fan of the Buffs saw Lewis as Shedeur Sanders’s direct successor and wrote:

“@ShedeurSanders has left his imprint and now it's your turn. I can't wait to cheer and pray for you. Blessings to you!”

Notwithstanding some negative reactions, most of the reactions were positive.

“You’re going to be one of the successful Freshman leading this team to victories… I have a feeling!,” a Colorado fan wrote.

"Same whip new driver," a user said.
