Colorado head coach Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders turned heads at Big 12 Media Days in Frisco by doing something virtually no other coach does—bringing both quarterbacks, veteran Kaidon Salter and 17-year-old freshman Julian “JuJu” Lewis, to the podium . While most programs send only their starter to represent the position group, Sanders openly admitted, “I don’t know which one is going to start”, indicating a true open competition or even a potential two-QB system
Sanders justified the dual presence: “As long as they’re doing their jobs and we’re winning,” he said, signalling that both could share field time Salter brings experience and proven production from Liberty, while Lewis offers tantalizing upside as a top-tier recruit .By showcasing both, Coach Prime aims to fuel healthy competition and motivate his QBs and team—sending a clear message that no one has the job locked and performance will determine the leader.
