Prior to his time at Colorado, Sanders was the coach for the Jackson State Wildcats. This was his first head coaching job in college. "Coach Prime" was there for three seasons from 2020-2022. His overall record was 27-6. After the 2022 wrapped up, Sanders was hired by Colorado to be their next coach.

Deion brought his two best players from Jackson State with him to Colorado in 2023: quarterback Shedeur Sanders and wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter. These two players began to thrive in Boulder. In 2024, Shedeur was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. Hunter on the other hand won the 2024 Heisman Trophy for his elite two-way skillset. A few months later, the two were selected in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Colorado will be a seeking a major bounce back season in 2026. Their season will begin on the road against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Saturday, Sept. 5. This won’t be an easy task as Georgia Tech is coming of a 9-4 2025 season including a win over these Buffaloes at Folsom Field. 

Colorado's starting quarterback in 2026 look like it will be Julian Lewis. Lewis was a four-star class of 2025 recruit and signed with the Buffaloes last season. As a freshman, Lewis showed promise. He threw for 589 yards with four touchdowns and zero interceptions.

Lewis did not play in Colorado's final game, leaving him still eligible to use a redshirt season. Colorado fans hope that Lewis can bring a level of consistency at the quarterback position, something they didn't have in 2025.

The Buffaloes started three different quarterbacks last season: Kaidon Salter, Ryan Staub, and Julian Lewis. Salter came into 2025 as the starter. He had four years of experience under his belt with the Liberty Flames from 2021-2024 before entering the portal and transferring to Colorado.
