Thu Nov 21 16:00:00 UTC 2024: **Top QB Recruit Julian Lewis Decommits from USC, Creates Recruiting Frenzy**
LOS ANGELES, CA – Top-ranked quarterback Julian Lewis has decommitted from the University of Southern California (USC), sending shockwaves through the college football recruiting world. The announcement, made Sunday, leaves the highly touted 2025 prospect open to offers from several schools, including Georgia, Colorado, and Indiana.
Lewis, ranked No. 2 overall in the 2025 class, had been committed to USC since August 2023 but recently visited Georgia and Colorado, fueling speculation about a potential change of heart. His decision follows a string of decommitments from the Trojans’ 2025 recruiting class, including five-star defenders Justus Terry and Isaiah Gibson. In the past week alone, USC has lost three recruits to other programs.
The unexpected shift has created a fierce competition for Lewis’ services. Sources indicate he plans to commit and enroll early in the coming weeks.
In a surprising twist, four-star quarterback Husan Longstreet, previously committed to Texas A&M, has flipped his commitment to USC following Lewis’ departure. Longstreet, ranked No. 47 in the ESPN 300, visited USC last weekend.
Lewis’ decommitment significantly impacts USC’s 2025 recruiting class, dropping their ranking in ESPN’s class rankings. The highly sought-after quarterback, known for his impressive freshman season performance (4,118 yards and 48 touchdowns), now holds the spotlight as one of the nation’s most coveted uncommitted players. The battle for his signature promises to be one of the most captivating storylines of the early signing period, which begins December 4th.
