Deion Sanders has his quarterback of the future – assuming he stays in Colorado.

The program landed a commitment from top quarterback prospect Julian “JuJu” Lewis for 2025 on Thursday, four days after he decommitted from USC.

“I’m excited about the opportunity to get started and compete,” Lewis told ESPN. “Colorado didn’t recruit me until I got a new class, so it was really perfect timing. This is just the beginning. I trust that Coach Prime and (offensive coordinator Pat) Shurmur will help me become the player I want to be.”

Lewis, the No. 2 overall prospect in ESPN’s rankings behind fellow quarterback and LSU commit Bryce Underwood — who reportedly received a $10.5 million NIL offer from Michigan — is expected to make it official with the Buffaloes when the early signing period begins on December 1. 4, according to ESPN.

He was initially in the class of 2026 but was reclassified last year.

The Carrollton, Georgia native is the highest-ranked prospect to ever commit to Colorado, according to ESPN, and gives Sanders a succession plan after his son, Shedeur, heads to the pros as he is the betting favorite to go No. 1. in the 2025 NFL draft.

The big question is whether Deion will stay.

He has been linked with a move to the NFL along with his son, but has said he is enjoying life in Boulder.

Sanders’ former teammate, Michael Irvin, said on the Colin Cowherd show this week that Deion would “100 percent” go to the Cowboys if they drafted Shedeur.

Current Dallas coach Mike McCarthy is out of contract after this season and it seems unlikely he will be brought back to the team at 3-7.

“And I can tell you: good sources told me that. Great sources told me that! That’s all I can say about that without violating anything else,” Irvin said.

The Cowboys just gave quarterback Dak Prescott a record four-year, $240 million contract in September.
