Last season with the Buffaloes, she had an average of 0.6 points and 0.6 rebounds. Her best game was against the Air Force Academy, in which she scored three points and grabbed a rebound in two minutes of game action.

Deion Sanders was displeased with his daughter's decision to enter the NCAA transfer portal without a confirmed destination.

Shelomi Sanders, the daughter of Deion Sanders, has committed to Alabama A&M. She returns back to the SWAC out of the transfer portal.

Her women's college basketball career has gone from:
Jackson State ➡️ Colorado ➡️ Alabama A&M

Since her arrival in Huntsville, new Bulldogs head coach Dawn Thornton has been building a solid program by signing recruits and transfer players. As Tomekia Reed leaves Jackson State for UNC Charlotte, the door is wide open for Thornton and the Bulldogs to gain a foothold in winning the SWAC in 2024.
