- Julian Lewis, a highly touted five-star freshman quarterback, made his college debut for Colorado against Delaware on Saturday, September 6, 2025, at Folsom Field.

- Sanders emphasized caution in Lewis’s development, saying, “I love the kid, and I want the kid to be successful,” while noting they won’t rush his progress.
