Five-star quarterback Julian ‘JuJu Lewis and his Carrollton squad had a similar performance to Caleb Williams and the USC Trojans this weekend, drumming their opponent, 50-0. Carrollton improved to 3-1 on the season, winning three in a row. Their lone loss came to a powerful Langston Hughes squad led by Ohio State quarterback commit Air Noland.

On Friday night, Lewis looked his usual self, completing 15 of his 22 attempts for 261 yards and three touchdowns. He has a 147.9 quarterback rating, a season high.

Lewis is now up to 853 passing yards and 11 touchdowns on the season. He has zero interceptions and is completing 67% of his passes.

Lewis hasn’t had to air the ball out a ton yet this season with a strong rushing attack available for the Carrollton offense. The team has rushed for 501 yards and 10 touchdowns so far. Lewis’ top target through the air is Alabama tight end commit Caleb Odom. He currently has 334 receiving yards and five touchdowns.

Lewis, the No. 1 overall prospect in the 2026 class, committed to USC in late August.

Lewis’ growing On3 NIL Valuation

Lewis has an On3 NIL Valuation of $497K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

“Lewis is already primed to succeed in the new era of college sports. While the Georgia High School Athletic Association prohibits athletes from monetizing their publicity rights, the Carrollton High quarterback has done everything else to put himself in a position to eventually cash in on NIL,” wrote On3’s Pete Nakos.

“Multiple sources have made it clear to On3 that multiple brands will be lining up to sign Lewis to a multi-year NIL deal whenever he can begin to profit. USC is obviously a Nike school, but the quarterback has the clout where he could become a valuable chessboard piece for a sportswear brand.”

His NIL valuation grew by 121% following his commitment to USC.

Lewis ranks as the No. 1 player in the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also tabbed in as the No. 1 quarterback and the No. 1 player in the state of Georgia in the 2026 class.
