Peach State quarterback prodigy on Clemson's radar

One of the top younger prospects in the state of Georgia visited Clemson for last weekend’s game against Florida State and is already looking to make a return trip.

Julian “JuJu” Lewis is a 2026 quarterback prodigy out of Carrollton (GA) who already has offers from Florida, Georgia Tech, and Penn St. Talk to the recruiting people in the state of Georgia, and many see Lewis in the same light as former Peach State greats Deshaun Watson, Trevor Lawrence, and Justin Fields.

Lewis is only in eighth grade, so he plays for Carrollton’s ninth-grade squad. Under Georgia rules, he is not allowed on the sidelines or to dress out in a varsity contest, but he already stands 6-1 and weighs in close to 170 pounds and is coached by Joey King, the same King who coached Lawrence at Cartersville.
