Carrollton, GA – Julian Lewis, one of the most highly regarded high school football players in the nation, has officially committed to the University of Tennessee. The five-star quarterback from Carrollton High School in Carrollton, Georgia, announced his decision after weighing offers from several top programs, including the University of Colorado.
Born on September 21, 2007, Lewis has been a standout talent from an early age. Widely considered one of the elite quarterbacks in the class of 2025, he has drawn national attention for his arm strength, decision-making, and poise under pressure. His performances at Carrollton High School have been nothing short of spectacular, leading his team deep into Georgia’s competitive high school playoff scene.
Lewis’s commitment to the Tennessee Volunteers is a major win for head coach Josh Heupel and his staff, as they continue to build a strong foundation for the future of the program. The Vols beat out a hard push from Colorado, led by head coach Deion Sanders, who has been aggressively pursuing top-tier recruits in recent years.
In a statement following his commitment, Lewis expressed confidence in his decision, citing the coaching staff, offensive scheme, and campus environment as key factors. “Tennessee felt like home,” he said. “Coach Heupel has a vision for me that aligns with what I want for my future, both on and off the field.”
Recruiting analysts across the country believe Lewis has the potential to be a game-changing player at the college level and possibly beyond. With two seasons still left in his high school career, all eyes will be on Carrollton as Lewis continues to develop before stepping onto the field in Knoxville.
The Volunteers’ 2025 recruiting class is already shaping up to be one of the best in the country, and with Lewis at the helm, expectations are soaring for a return to national prominence.
