Colorado quarterback Julian Lewis was hospitalized after suffering a medical emergency at the team's practice facility on Wednesday.
Colorado quarterback Julian Lewis is recovering after suffering a medical emergency at the Buffaloes' practice facility on Wednesday. His father, T. Carlton Lewis, announced the incident on Thursday.
'He is recovering and thankful to his medical team, teammates, and Colorado fans for their prayers and support,' Lewis's father wrote in a statement. 'Please respect Julian and the Lewis family's privacy. We will have no further comment at this time.' The specific nature of the emergency has not been disclosed.
Lewis, a 19-year-old sophomore, was the team's starting quarterback for the first four games of the season. In that stretch, he completed 61 of 95 passes for 733 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions, with one rushing touchdown. Head coach Deion Sanders benched him after a 23-13 loss to Baylor on 26 September, replacing him with junior Isaac Wilson.
Wilson has struggled since taking over. He has lost all three games he has started, leaving Colorado with a 2-5 record overall and 0-4 in Big 12 play, last in the conference. When asked on Tuesday whether he might return to Lewis, Sanders said: 'That's on him. I don't think you could find a player in this program... but I don't treat people unfairly. I don't play games with young men and their careers.'
Colorado Athletics said in a statement: 'Colorado Athletics extends our full support to JuJu and his family through this medical emergency. He remains in the thoughts of every CU player, coach, and staff member and we will continue to assist in any way we can in his full recovery. His health and well-being remain our top priority.'
