Young QB phenom JuJu Lewis has 'great' visit to Georgia
Recruiting may slow down or even stop at times for some schools but that is almost never the case at Georgia. After spending virtually every day on the road during the evaluation period, the Bulldogs are back on campus and hosting top prospects like 2026 Carrollton quarterback Julian “JuJu” Lewis.
The future five-star prospect was at UGA on Thursday and, according to his twitter account, he had a really good time. He took a minute to shout out Kirby Smart, Mike Bobo, and Dell McGee for a “great” visit.
The 6-foot-1 185-pound phenom has a very real shot at being the No. 1 player in the 2026 class. In fact, he’s probably favored to hold that spot and, should he start there, he might go wire-to-wire.
He’s coming off a season where he was named the freshman National Player of the Year by MaxPreps. His first year of high school ball saw him throw for 4,118 yards, 48 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions.
Georgia has had the opportunity to host the elite talent numerous times. According to his On3 profile, he has taken nine unofficial visits to Athens already. Lewis has offers from just about every major program in American and has taken multiple visits to the likes of Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Texas, Clemson, USC, Texas A&M, and LSU.
Georgia Tech, Penn State, Ole Miss, North Carolina, Auburn, Tennessee, South Carolina, Ohio State and Arizona State have all gotten the chance to host him as well. He currently has an NIL valuation of $180,000 per On3Sports and that is bound to increase as his recruitment carries on.
On3 scouting journal on Lewis…
“Julian Lewis has been a well-known name in recruiting circles since he was in middle school. The 6-foot-0.5, 180-pounder stood out in a relatively deep quarterback group on Sunday. Lewis looked extremely comfortable while throwing in his high school program’s indoor facility. He was among the more accurate quarterbacks in attendance, both in drills and 1-on-1’s. The vast majority of his passes were on target over the course of the afternoon. Lewis is technically polished and throws a clean, tight spiral. He had no issues fitting the ball into tight windows during 1-on-1’s and delivered some of the best throws we saw in the session. While there’s a ways to go with Lewis and any 2026 prospect, the touted passer does look to be ahead of the curve from a skill perspective at this point in time.”
