Julian Lewis, the No. 2 player and quarterback in the 2025 class, decommitted from USC on Sunday, sources told ESPN, sealing a seismic development for one of the nation's top prospects in the closing weeks of the 2025 recruiting cycle.

Lewis' decommitment, which had been expected, comes the day after the 6-foot-1, 195-pound quarterback took an unofficial visit to Georgia for the game against Tennessee. He has also recently visited Colorado on Oct. 26 and expressed interest in Indiana throughout his recruitment.

According to sources, the plan remains for Lewis to commit in the upcoming weeks and enroll early in school. He's the top uncommitted player in the Class of 2025 and his choice looms as one of the biggest stories of the early signing period with Colorado, Georgia and Indiana expected to contend for his signature before the signing period opens on Dec. 4.

Sources also told ESPN on Sunday that four-star Texas A&M quarterback pledge Husan Longstreet, No. 47 in the 2025 ESPN 300, has flipped his pledge to USC in the wake of Lewis' departure from the Trojans' incoming class.

USC quarterbacks coach Luke Huard attended Longstreet's playoff game at Corona Centennial High School in California on Friday night and ESPN's No. 4 pocket passer visited the Trojans during their game against Nebraska on Saturday.

Lewis had been verbally committed to the Trojans since Aug. 22, 2023. Yet questions had swirled over his recruitment from the summer into the fall and all the way through to his decommitment from USC on Sunday.

Lewis' decommitment marks the latest blow to a USC 2025 recruiting class that has now lost six commitments from inside the 2025 ESPN 300 in this cycle.

That list of high-profile departures from Lincoln Riley's incoming class includes five-star defenders Justus Terry and Isaiah Gibson, and Lewis' exit stands as USC's third recruiting loss in the last seven days following the flips of defensive lineman Hayden Lowe (Miami) and cornerback Shamar Arnoux (Auburn) earlier this week.

The Trojans sat ninth in ESPN's latest class rankings for the 2025 cycle prior to Lewis' decommitment.

With the move, Lewis instantly regains status as the one of nation's most sought after uncommitted prospects. Lewis first entered that realm in 2022 when he burst onto the national scene with 4,118 yards and 48 touchdowns while leading Carrollton to the Georgia 7A state title game in his freshman season.

That debut campaign earned Lewis a place as the No. 1 prospect in the 2026 class before he reclassified into the 2025 cycle earlier this year, several months after his commitment to USC in Aug. 2023.
