Rising Star Julian Lewis Lands Major NIL Deals, Commits to USC

In an exciting turn of events for the USC Trojans and high school football enthusiasts alike, Carrolton’s own quarterback prodigy, Julian Lewis, has not only committed to USC but has also been making waves in the world of high school Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals. Lewis, who is widely regarded as one of the best sophomore quarterbacks in the nation, is quickly becoming a household name, both on and off the field.

Key Takeaways:

• Julian Lewis, a 6’1″ quarterback sensation from Carrolton, Georgia, is a highly sought-after recruit, earning four or five-star rankings from major recruiting networks.
• Lewis has committed to USC, adding to the Trojans’ impressive 2026 recruiting class.
• He has been cashing in on high school NIL opportunities, recently securing six-figure deals with Leaf Trading Cards and Jaxxon Jewelry.

Since the state of Georgia began permitting high school athletes to capitalize on their name, image, and likeness, Julian Lewis has been striking NIL gold. His recent six-figure deal with Leaf Trading Cards was just the beginning. Lewis recently announced his partnership with Jaxxon Jewelry via his Instagram account, further solidifying his presence in the NIL market.

The exact financial details of the Jaxxon Jewelry deal are yet to be disclosed, but experts suggest that it could be a substantial addition to his NIL portfolio. According to On3, Lewis’s annual NIL value is estimated at an impressive $477,000, a testament to his marketability and social media prowess. With over 131,000 followers on Instagram, Lewis may have the largest following of any high school sophomore football player in history.

Looking ahead, Julian Lewis is poised to shine not only on the gridiron but also as a brand ambassador. His combination of immense talent, social media acumen, and a commitment to joining the USC Trojans, a storied college football program in a massive media market, sets the stage for a promising future. To put things in perspective, his annual NIL value already rivals that of renowned quarterback Caleb Williams, who boasts an estimated $2.8 million annual NIL value, as reported by On3.

Caleb Williams’ success with NIL contracts, coupled with the allure of Lincoln Riley’s renowned quarterback development abilities, makes USC an enticing destination for aspiring quarterbacks. Despite the competition, Julian Lewis stands as the lone quarterback committed to USC, demonstrating his confidence in the program and its potential to nurture his burgeoning career.

As Julian Lewis continues to make headlines both on and off the field, football fans eagerly await his debut with the USC Trojans, while the NIL world watches to see what exciting deals the young quarterback secures next.
