University of Colorado true freshman quarterback Julian Lewis has been ordered to refrain from playing in Saturday’s season finale against Kansas State in an effort to preserve his redshirt status, as announced by coach Deion Sanders on Tuesday. This decision is part of a broader strategic approach to ensure Lewis has the opportunity to develop further before entering the starting lineup for future seasons.
The move comes as Colorado prepares for its final game of the season, where the team will face off against Kansas State. While the loss of Lewis may impact the team’s offensive capabilities, the coaching staff has emphasized the importance of maintaining his eligibility for future games. Coach Sanders expressed confidence in the team’s ability to adapt to the change and continue their season-long progress.
