Deion Sanders presents the move as a planned look for the 17-year-old recruit rather than a reaction against Kaidon Salter.

Overview

  • Sanders confirmed Lewis will see the field on Saturday but declined to say if he will start, signaling a likely two‑quarterback approach.
  • Kaidon Salter started the opener and went 17-of-28 for 159 yards with one passing TD plus 43 rushing yards and a score, drawing coach critiques on decision-making.
  • Sanders said Lewis was always expected to play this season and that his absence in Week 1 was a timing decision.
  • Lewis is a 17-year-old early graduate from Carrollton, Georgia, who originally committed to USC before choosing Colorado.
  • Colorado fell 27-20 to Georgia Tech in the opener and now hosts Delaware, which is in its first FBS season, with kickoff on Fox at 3:30 p.m. ET.
