Colorado is still in the running for the only QB Shedeur Sanders wants as his replacement

Colorado Football is still in the process of bringing in Carrollton star and current USC commit Julian Lewis; The only quarterback, Shedeur Sanders, is actively looking to replace him as center in Boulder next year and beyond.

Per On3The next two weekends, Oct. 12 against K-State at Folsom Field and Oct. 19 against Arizona in Tuscon, the Buffs will host Lewis, Colo., which hosts Quanell X Farrakhan Jr., Alex Graham, Antonio Branch Jr ., Zayne DeSouza and signed Corbin Laisure.

There are a lot of juniors on this list, showing that the family affair will continue in Boulder after Coach Prime's children move on to the NFL. But Lewis could be the next player Sanders sees as a son in the vein of Travis Hunter.

Shedeur stated that whoever is the next QB is considered Sanders' son, but that it “should” be Lewis.

“You know, if Julian comes, he might be able to take the reins, but I wouldn't be mad about that,” Sanders said Via SI's Kris Miller. “Whoever the next quarterback is, it should be Julian, but he will be like his new son.”

Is it a perfect recruiting pitch from Shedeur? Nope. It depends on. Putting all your eggs in one basket is always a dangerous proposition, but if it works, Colorado will be in good hands for years to come.

A media company pushes the narrative that no matter where you look, Coach Prime isn't far from Colorado.

If Lewis were to join the Buffs, that narrative would end.

CU has the ability to build something sustainable in Boulder. In the modern age of recruiting, a pillar QB is what you need to get started.

Lewis is him. Let's see if he can be convinced that Colorado is the best place to be the architect of something great.
