Colorado QB Julian Lewis hospitalized after medical emergency

Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Julian Lewis was transported to the hospital on Wednesday following a medical emergency at the university’s athletic facility.

His father, T. Carlton Lewis, released a statement on Thursday confirming that Julian is currently in recovery. The statement expressed gratitude to the medical team, teammates, and fans for their support while requesting privacy for the family. Specific details regarding the nature of the medical emergency have not been disclosed.

Lewis, a sophomore, started the first four games of the season for the Buffaloes. Prior to the incident, he had been listed as “doubtful” on the team’s injury report ahead of a matchup against Kansas State. He has not played in approximately one month, though reports indicated his recent absence was not injury-related.
