Report: Elite 2026 quarterback Julian Lewis takes Texas visit

One of the top quarterback prospects in the nation took a visit to Texas this week.

2026 quarterback Julin Lewis took a visit to Texas this Wednesday, according to a report from On3 Sports.

Coming off of a fantastic freshman season, Lewis looks to be the next big thing in high school football. He threw for 4,118 yards and 48 touchdowns in 2022 for Carrollton High School in Georgia.

Lewis already holds over 32 offers from some of the top schools around the country.

The future five-star prospect broke down his interest in Texas with On3 Sports.

“I built a relationship with coach (Steve Sarkisian) when he was at Alabama, so it carried over to Texas,” Lewis told Chad Simmons. “They just got Arch (Manning), so Arch is probably gonna clear up that quarterback room going into that. That’s probably the cool thing about them.”

Texas is getting an early start in the recruitment of Lewis. Steve Sarkisian has a good track record recruiting the quarterback position during his time at Texas, landing Arch Manning and Maailk Muprhy over the past two classes.
