Deion Sanders has made bold promises for his current team and the club he’ll take over in 2023.
Last weekend, the University of Colorado Buffaloes hired “Prime Time” to take over as the program’s new head coach. Sanders has been coaching the Jackson Stage Tigers since 2020, and he’ll leave the school after the Celebration Bowl against North Carolina Central on Dec. 17.
In a recent interview, the Pro Football Hall of Famer made two promises: 1. That the Tigers will win the Celebration Bowl and 2. That he and the Boulders will “have the biggest recruiting weekend” in the school’s history:
Sanders and the Buffaloes have already recruited one promising prospect. On Saturday, four-star running back recruit Dylan Edwards announced that he’s taking his talents to Boulder as well. Edwards had previously committed to both Kansas State and Notre Dame before changing his plans.
Shedeur Sanders, Deion’s son, has been Jackson State’s starting quarterback over the last two seasons. Shedeur will also be making the move to Boulder, and Deion has already stated that his son will be the team’s starting QB next year.

Sanders’ college coaching career began in 2020 when he took the Tigers’ head coaching position. The NFL legend has led the Tigers to a 27-5 record over his three years there, highlighted by consecutive SWAC Championship victories.
Before his NCAA coaching career, Sanders had worked as an analyst for NFL Network. The 55-year-old Sanders had a decorated NFL playing career in which he was named to eight Pro Bowls while also garnering six First-team All-Pro nods.
Sanders won 1994 Defensive Player of the Year honors and won back-to-back Super Bowls in the 1994 and 1995 seasons with the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys, respectively. Sanders played his final two seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, retiring after the 2005 season.
