As the Colorado Buffaloes enter a new era under Deion Sanders, all eyes are on Julian "Juju" Lewis as he prepares to step into the role left by Shedeur Sanders. The past two seasons under Coach Prime have been a rollercoaster ride, as Colorado has gone from a struggling program to maybe a legit contender. After winning just one game in 2022, the Buffaloes showed promise in 2023 before a late-season collapse. Last season marked a turning point, however, as Sanders led the team to a nine-win campaign and a spot in the final AP Top 25. While the Buffaloes fell short in the Alamo Bowl, Sanders' impact has transformed the program into one of the most talked-about teams in college football.
Watch Juju" Lewis Celebrate Like Shedeur Sanders
If there were any doubts about Lewis' ability to fill Shedeur's shoes, a recent viral clip should put them to rest. In the video, the young quarterback delivers a perfectly placed deep ball reminiscent of some of Shedeur's best throws. But what really got fans talking was his celebration - nearly identical to his predecessor's signature move. The moment was a reminder that Lewis has studied Shedeur closely, adopting not only his mechanics but also his swagger. The similarities are striking, and Buffalo fans are already buzzing about what's to come.
Julian Lewis, a highly touted quarterback from Carrollton High School in Georgia, has been preparing for this moment alongside Shedeur Sanders. Coach Prime has spoken highly of the young signal-caller, emphasizing his natural talent and leadership. With a remarkable high school career that saw him throw for over 11,000 yards and 144 touchdowns, Lewis has the stats to back up the hype. Now, with Shedeur heading to the NFL, it's time for Lewis to step up and prove he can carry the torch.
How Much Will Colorado's New QB Shine?
As Lewis steps into the spotlight, Colorado's offense is poised for some major changes. With Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter both headed to the NFL, Deion Sanders has made key coaching hires to reshape the team's identity. The addition of Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk as the Buffaloes' running backs coach signals a shift toward a more balanced attack. Faulk, along with new coach Byron Leftwich - who helped guide Tom Brady to his last Super Bowl - bring NFL-level expertise to the program. These moves indicate that Sanders is looking to build a well-rounded team that doesn't rely solely on the ing game.
With a revamped coaching staff and a rising star at quarterback, Colorado is poised for another exciting season. The question now is: Can Juju Lewis handle the pressure and lead the Buffaloes back to national prominence? If his early performances are any indication, the future looks bright in Boulder.
