Five-star college recruit makes live commitment on Pat McAfee Show to Colorado Buffaloes to replace Shedeur Sanders

The newest member of the Colorado Buffaloes program was announced with assistance from PAT McAfee.

Deion Sanders has already identified a replacement, and Shedeur Sanders is anticipated to be selected highly in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Julian “Ju Ju” Lewis committed to the University of Colorado Buffaloes as their quarterback of the future with the assistance of Pat McAfee.

“He is very similar to CJ Stroud,” McAfee remarked.

“Everyone on Earth is thrilled to hear where you’re going to school because you’re very mature, very calm, have an incredible football IQ, and can obviously put a ball everywhere.”

“Without further ado, Julian ‘Ju Ju’ Lewis will be playing football for who?”

McAfee led Lewis in, and he spoke about his dedication to Colorado.

“I will be continuing my athletic and academic career at the University of Colorado,” he stated.

“Congratulations, we’re incredibly proud of you,” McAfee remarked.

When the news was announced, college football fans went crazy and posted about it on social media.

“Man, what a move by Julian,” remarked one admirer.

Another fan commented, “It sounds like he wants that Prime Time slot.”

A third fan declared, “Coach Prime is here to stay,”

“Huge get for Coach Prime,” remarked one fourth fan.

A fifth admirer remarked, “JuJu; you’ll love CU, Boulder, and the Buffs forever.”

Julian Lewis is the second-ranked prospect in the 2025 high school recruiting class, per ESPN.

In addition, Bryce Underwood, who recently committed to Michigan, is his number two quarterback.

However, other recruiting services do not rank Lewis as highly as ESPN does.

Lewis is ranked as the ninth-best quarterback in his class and a four-star on 247 Sports, but ESPN rates him as a five-star.

Lewis is ranked sixth in the class by On3, which is a marginally higher ranking than Lewis’s.

In just three seasons, Lewis has thrown for 10,054 yards, making his collegiate career truly remarkable.

He only has 18 interceptions compared to 136 touchdowns.
