Colorado’s incoming quarterback, Julian Lewis, rolled into Big 12 Media Days with all the attitude and gear to match.
Reports and viral clips showed him flexing a high-end watch and striking the same pose legendary Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders used to rock.

That fresh style isn’t just for show, it’s a statement. Lewis is telling the conference he’s ready to fill Shedeur’s shoes, not just on the field, but in presence and confidence too. At 6 feet and armed with a rare blend of swagger and skill, he’s shaping up as more than just a recruit. He’s a power player in a signal caller’s body.
Flashy accessories? Yes. Symbolic poses? Absolutely. But let’s not mistake style for substance. Lewis reclassified to the 2025 class and brings elite film for a freshman. He put up big numbers at Carrollton High and projects as a polished QB prospect. The chain and watch tell a signal: he sees himself as the featured act.
With Shedeur now in the NFL, Deion Sanders and OC Pat Shurmur are searching for his heir. Julian Lewis is stepping into that light—and he knows cameras are watching. Still, he isn’t the only Colorado quarterback in the spotlight as Liberty transfer Kaidon Salter also made an appearance at Media Days.
Media Days aren’t just soundbites and suits. They’re the first chance to stake your claim. Julian Lewis wore his. Now he needs to back it up on the field. The question isn’t whether he can shine in front of the microphone. It’s whether he can light it up on Saturdays.
