Lewis, one of the most highly touted recruits in recent years, has been at the center of speculation since arriving in Boulder. Despite being a freshman, his poise, accuracy, and football IQ have stood out in practice, leaving many wondering when he’d get his first real chance to shine on the field.
Speaking with reporters, Coach Prime made it clear that the time has come:
“Julian’s ready. He’s been working hard, he’s been patient, and this week he’s going to get on that field and show what he can do,” Sanders said.
The decision comes at a pivotal point in Colorado’s season, as the Buffaloes look to keep momentum going while also building depth behind starting quarterback Shedeur Sanders. By giving Lewis valuable game reps now, the coaching staff hopes to prepare him for the future while adding another weapon to the offense in the present.
For fans, this marks the beginning of what could be a historic journey. Lewis, who reclassified early to join Colorado, is seen as a generational talent with the potential to change the trajectory of the program.
The Buffaloes face Delaware this week, and all eyes will be on the true freshman as he takes his first official snaps in black and gold.
