Interview: CU Quarterback Brendon Lewis
Episode description
So, what's it like to be the starting quarterback for the University of Colorado?
I am joined for this episode by sophomore quarterback Brendon Lewis. Lewis came to CU from Melissa, Texas, where he accounted for over 12,000 yards of total offense in high school. Enrolling early in January, 2020, Lewis was hit by the loss of his head coach one month into his collegiate career, with the sporting world shut down a month later. After a COVID season in which Lewis played in the Alamo Bowl, he was the starting quarterback for the 2021 season, throwing for over 1,500 yards, with ten touchdowns and only three interceptions.
What was it about CU and Boulder which made it easier for Brendon to commit to Colorado in May of his junior year in high school?

Why should Brendon be lobbying for his hometown high school team to name its new stadium in his honor? ...
