THIS SERIES: SEC impact<\/a> | Big Ten impact<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Simply earlier than his two-day keep in Jacksonville, five-star quarterback and No. 1 total prospect Julian Lewis<\/a>, spent a weekend in Boulder, Colo., for an official go to with Deion Sanders<\/b> and the Buffs. Colorado<\/a> is likely one of the simply two or three faculties which can be in respectable competition to flip the highest prospect away from USC<\/a>. <\/p>\n On high of the visits happening straight earlier than the occasion, the hypothesis was pushed additional as Lewis was sporting a Colorado towel competing within the 5-Star. <\/p>\n The USC commit is being courted by others, however none seemingly as arduous as Colorado, who had followers shouting for him within the streets of Boulder and even a restaurant that created a burger named after Lewis. They’re going all out for him.<\/p>\n Given that he’s not dedicated to Colorado, there’s not an instantaneous impression for them popping out of 5-Star.

The IMG Academy prospect nonetheless has some rising to do, however already at 6-foot-3 and 225 kilos, it’s important to like what you see. A fast first step, an array of go rush strikes, and a fiery edge to his character on the sector make for a nuisance for all blockers throughout from him. UCF is considered one of many already in pursuit, which incorporates all of the in-state powers. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
