It's a huge commitment for Sanders. Lewis is a five-star quarterback prospect who is widely considered one of the top young players to come along at the position in recent memory. With Shedeur Sanders set to enter the NFL draft this spring, the QB position is wide-open for the Buffaloes next year. There is a very good chance this commitment means Deion Sanders landed his starting QB for the 2025 season.
It also lends further credence to Sanders's continued quest to shoot down any and all NFL rumors that come his way. Despite plenty of chatter Prime Time has remained consistent in his messaging that he has no plans to leap to the pros.
The Buffaloes are tied for first in the Big 12 with an 8-2 record and were ranked 16th in the latest College Football Playoff ranking.
