With Julian Lewis committing to the Colorado Buffaloes, Coach Prime, also known as Deion Sanders, is not overly concerned about his son Shedeur Sanders leaving for the NFL next year. During a press conference on Thursday, Coach Sanders informed reporters that one of the top quarterbacks from the Class of 2025 has committed to the school, which eases his worries about the situation.

Sanders told reporters that he would only worry about the quarterback situation when they get there, before listing off food that is usually served during Thanksgiving. This got NCAA football fans talking about how excited the coach seemed for Thanksgiving dinner.

"He locked in with the food 😂😂," said a commenter.
"Coach is hilarious 😂he’s literally thinking about all of the food he listed. Dropping hints to Mama Connie and Auntie Tracey," said another.
"Man named every food then said we not thinking bout that 😂😂 bra I AM," another person joked.

However, other fans were talking about him possibly also getting a job in the NFL to follow his son and not staying in Boulder for too long after Shedeur leaves. Meanwhile, other fans were not worried because of Julian Lewis.

"He’s not thinking about cuz he won’t be there… he is moving on with his prize son," opined one commenter.
"Prime getting his guys is exactly what every other school should be afraid of," said another.
"That’s what you would expect him to say. He needs to focus on Oklahoma State right now. He is elated about JuJu, and I’m sure JuJu knows that." another commenter pointed out.

Julian Lewis was one of the biggest flips from the Class of 2025. He originally committed to USC before de-committing and announcing on the Pat McAfee Show that he would go to Colorado.

More high school stars commit to Colorado after Julian Lewis' commitment

The Julian Lewis effect had some big results for Coach Prime and Colorado, as four more high school football stars committed to the school.

The biggest names to commit to Sanders' program are four-star EDGE London Merritt and four-star offensive tackle Carde Smith. Other commitments on Thursday included three-star wide receiver Quentin Gibson and three-star EDGE Alexander McPherson.

Merritt originally committed to Ohio State but de-comitted before Thanksgiving, with many predicting he wanted to go to Boulder too. Meanwhile, Smith originally committed to Auburn before flipping to USC in August. He de-committed again before deciding to go to Colorado.
