Deion Sanders Confirms 5-Star QB Julian Lewis Will Play as Colorado Weighs Two-Quarterback Plan

Following an opening loss, the coach signals a careful debut for the 17-year-old to jump-start an offense still finding its rhythm.

Overview

  • Sanders said Lewis will see the field against Delaware but declined to name a starter, indicating both quarterbacks are in the mix.
  • Kaidon Salter, the Liberty transfer who started Week 1, finished 17-for-28 for 159 yards and a touchdown and added 43 rushing yards and a score in the 27-20 defeat to Georgia Tech.
  • The coach defended his late-game timeout strategy and publicly backed coordinators Pat Shurmur and Robert Livingston after questions about play-calling and game management.
  • Colorado’s defense surrendered 463 total yards, including a 45-yard touchdown run in the final minutes, with corrections prioritized ahead of Week 2.
  • Sanders said he will ease Lewis into college action to protect the freshman from social-media blowback, as Delaware makes its FBS debut before Colorado’s Big 12 opener at Houston.
