One of the nation’s top high school quarterback prospects is planning to graduate a year early. Julian Lewis, a five-star QB from Carrollton High School (Ga.), announced he is reclassifying to the class of 2025 and will enter next year as a senior.<\/p>\n

The USC Trojans commit was the top-ranked quarterback prospect in the class of 2026 prior to the announcement. Now, he’s second on 247Sports Composite’s 2025 ranking, behind only Bryce Underwood (who committed to LSU<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Lewis has dominated high school football through his two years of play, entering as one of the best players out of the gate. As a freshman, he threw for 4,118 yards and 48 touchdowns to 12 interceptions as he led Carrollton to a 14-1 record, according to MaxPreps. As a sophomore, he passed for 3,094 yards, 48 touchdowns and only two interceptions as Carrolton went 11-2.<\/p>\n

Listed at 6-foot-1, 185 pounds, Lewis committed to USC in August. He had offers from 37 programs, according to 247Sports, and on his Instagram<\/a> listed Alabama and Georgia specifically as other schools he passed on to choose the Trojans.<\/p>\n

Lewis released a statement to ESPN<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

“Since I was 7 years old, one of my goals has been to play Division I football. Through hard work and sacrifice that goal has become a reality. I have been blessed to have two good seasons under Coach Joey King and I have confidence that after this coming season I will be ready to compete at the next level. So, after much prayer and talking with my family, coaches and trainers I will be reclassifying to the class of 2025.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

ESPN ranked him as the top player in the class of 2026 and a better quarterback than Underwood.<\/p>\n
