One of the best high school recruits in the nation has announced the decision to reclassify from the 2026 cycle to 2025.
[autotag]Julian Lewis[/autotag], a five-star quarterback from Carrollton High School in Carrollton, Georgia, revealed Tuesday that he will graduate one year early, and will now be a part of the 2025 class. He is now the No. 2 overall quarterback for the class behind LSU commit Bryce Underwood.
Lewis has been a pledge to Lincoln Riley and USC since August, but Steve Wiltfong of 247Sports reports that Auburn remains in the hunt to potentially land Lewis during the upcoming cycle. Alongside Auburn, Lewis is also considering Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Michigan, and Indiana in addition to USC.
The Georgia High School Association, which is the organization that Carrollton High School is a part of, recently voted to allow its student-athletes to sign NIL deals last October, and Lewis has become the poster child. Shortly after the NIL bill was passed, Lewis signed a NIL deal with Leaf Trading Cards which is reportedly worth six-figures. He also has a deal with Jaxxon, which is a jewelry brand. According to On3’s NIL Valutation, Lewis has an annual NIL value of $476,000.
Auburn’s 2025 haul currently ranks No. 4 in the nation according to 247Sports. The class is headlined by five four-star recruits including [autotag]Malik Autry[/autotag], [autotag]JaKaleb Faulk[/autotag], and [autotag]Antonio Coleman[/autotag].
