- Julian Lewis suffered a medical emergency at Colorado's athletic facility and was transported to the hospital, his father confirmed in a post on X.
- T.C. Lewis announced his son is recovering and expressed gratitude to the medical team, teammates, and fans for their support, though he provided no specifics about the incident.
- Colorado football listed Julian Lewis as doubtful on its initial Big 12 availability report Wednesday night, prior to the public confirmation of his hospitalization.
- Julian Lewis started the Buffaloes’ first four games of the season, throwing for 733 yards with seven total touchdowns and three turnovers before being benched ahead of the Baylor game.
- Isaac Wilson has started the past three games for Colorado (2-5, 0-5 Big 12) and remains the starter, with no indication from the program that Lewis will return to the lineup.
- Deion Sanders declined to discuss Lewis’s status when asked about a potential quarterback competition, saying he didn’t want to ‘go down that rabbit hole’ or ‘take a shot at a kid.’
Why it matters: The Buffaloes lose depth at quarterback during a winless Big 12 campaign, with no timeline for Lewis’s return; Sanders’ refusal to address the competition suggests a rift or sensitivity around the benching just before a critical conference matchup.
