Gorney: FICTION. I don't know if there is a main contender right now that's the biggest threat to USC for Julian Lewis. It was absolutely Georgia before the Bulldogs took four-star
Ryan Montgomery and now with Colorado, Indiana and Auburn as the other official visits it's not exactly a Who's Who of offense there.
Alabama could be a sneaky serious contender with the offense Kalen DeBoer is going to run and the history of winning in Tuscaloosa. Auburn is definitely intriguing with coach Hugh Freeze's offense and the receivers the Tigers brought in for the 2023 class but I don't think there is a clear threat to USC right now.
Garcia: FACT. As Georgia has seemingly bowed out of the race for the in-state prospect, though we never say never in this business, the next contender closest to home also resides within the SEC in the Auburn Tigers. Hugh Freeze and company have been able to compete with national powers for big-name recruiting battles since he took over on the Plains, and Lewis would be his biggest get yet.
Rivals sources continue to lean toward a quiet confidence relative to Lewis' chances to end up at AU, so there should be plenty of eyes on his official visit to get his closest look at the program come June 14. It's also the weekend after the USC official visit, and we know Lewis wants to be done with the process before the football season begins
