Originally one of the top quarterbacks in the class of 2026, Julian “Juju” Lewis has been committed to USC since mid-August and then re-classified to the 2025 class in January.
However, the standout signal-caller from Carrollton, Georgia, has far from shut down his recruitment. While he remains committed to USC, Lewis has multiple visits set around the southeast. Could an early recruiting flip be coming?
USC Commit Julian Lewis Has Several SEC Schools On Visit Schedule
Despite re-classifying to the class of 2025, Lewis remains one of the top players in the country, holding a five-star ranking from three of the four major rating services. Despite a four-star ranking from On3, he’s well inside the top 30 and five-star territory at the next rankings update.
Lewis has always been a frequent flyer, both before and after his USC commitment, making stops at dozens of schools nationwide. This spring, he’s focused on making repeat visits close to home.
Earlier this year, Lewis visited Georgia, Auburn, and Alabama and has return visits scheduled for the Bulldogs and Crimson Tide later in the year.
The Georgia trip on May 31 will be an official visit, per On3 Director of Recruiting Chad Simmons. He will likely take an official to Tuscaloosa this spring or summer.
Lewis is also considering making a trip out west to see Colorado in the near future, according to BamaOnline’s Hunter Shelton.
It seems right now that while he remains committed to USC, it’s a matter of when — not if — Lewis will flip to another school closer to home.
