Colorado football preseason offensive MVP predictions for 2026
Here are a few players that could be Colorado's most valuable offensive player during the 2026 college football season.
Colorado's offensive coordinator Brennan Marion has introduced a new Go-Go offense to the program, aiming to elevate the Buffaloes' performance in the 2026 season. With a revamped roster and a new quarterback, Julian Lewis, fans are speculating about the team's most valuable player in the offense.
QB Julian Lewis has been a highly touted prospect since high school. Although he had limited playing time as a freshman, he will now start as the starting quarterback. During the limited time he played last season, Lewis amassed 589 passing yards and scored four touchdowns without any interceptions. His strong performance led to his selection as the Big 12 quarterback of the week after a tough loss to West Virginia.
Charlie Strella argues that Lewis is a natural choice for the offensive MVP title, citing the importance of the quarterback position in sports. However, the Buffs' lack of a reliable workhorse running back or notable offensive lineman makes Lewis the most dependable option. A solid season from Lewis could propel Colorado into the bowl game conversation, while an above-average performance could yield additional wins.
WR Joseph Williams, on the other hand, believes that the upcoming wide receiver will significantly bolster the Buffs' offense. Known for his quickness and separation ability out of the slot, Williams would be an ideal target for Lewis. His performance could make the team's receivers more valuable and contribute to Colorado's overall success.
