Five-Star Quarterback Julian Lewis Commits to Colorado

Julian Lewis, a highly regarded five-star quarterback recruit for the class of 2025, has committed to Colorado, choosing the Buffaloes over Georgia and Indiana. Lewis, who previously decommitted from USC, is expected to take over as Colorado's starting quarterback next season following the graduation of Shedeur Sanders. Meanwhile, Alabama football has secured a commitment from four-star safety Ivan Taylor, who previously committed to Notre Dame and Michigan before flipping to the Crimson Tide. Taylor, who is regarded as one of the top safeties in the 2025 class, will strengthen Alabama's already impressive defensive backfield. In the broader landscape of college football, the 2024 transfer portal yielded mixed results, with some high-profile transfers failing to meet expectations, impacting their teams' performances. As Alabama prepares for a challenging matchup against Oklahoma, the Sooners' defense is highlighted as a potential hurdle, particularly in their pass coverage.
