On the sidelines as a coach for the Colorado Buffaloes, Deion Sanders is known to wear a cowboy hat, with sunglasses. It doesn’t matter if the sun is out, or if it is a night game. “Coach Prime” shows up in style. 

The Buffaloes are currently 3-4 overall this season with a 1-3 record in Big 12 conference play. Colorado is coming off of a big home win over the ten ranked No. 22 Iowa State Cyclones. They now enter their bye week and hope that this momentum carries over to their road game against the Utah Utes.  

Sanders is in his third year in Boulder. Year one had a quick 3-0 start, but they ended up losing eight of their last nine games to finish 4-8. 2024 was a huge bounce back season. The Buffaloes went 9-4 and had Heisman trophy winning cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter, who ended up being selected No. 2 by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2025 NFL Draft. 

Also in 2024, quarterback Shedeur Sanders took home the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year award before being selected by the Cleveland Browns.
