Lewis graduated a semester early from high school and played in the Alamo Bowl game against Texas in 2020. He threw for 95 yards while rushing for 73 and a touchdown in the 23-55 loss.
He started all 12 games of the 2021 season, leading the Buffs to a 4-8 overall record. Lewis threw for 1727 yards in his career at Colorado, including 1540 yards during the 2021 season.
