Two of Deion Sanders' sons—Shilo and Shedeur—will take the field for Colorado on Saturday in an in-state rivalry game against Colorado State.
Shilo, a high school senior during his official visit, was a three-star safety recruit, according to 247Sports, and eventually signed with South Carolina. Shedeur was a high school sophomore when he went on the visit with his brother. When"Coach Prime" took the head coaching job at Jackson State in 2020, Shilo and Shedeur followed him there.
Deion Sanders is now heading into this third game as Colorado's head coach. Shilo and Shedeur followed their father there this offseason. And now the Sanders family has transformed a program that went 1-11 last season into one of the biggest stories in sports. The Buffaloes upset defending national runner-up TCU in the season-opener, then followed with a win over rival Nebraska in Week 2.
Shedeur has thrown for 903 yards and six touchdowns through two weeks. Shilo is Colorado's leading tackler."We're winning, but we're not playing our best football," Deion Sanders said."That's a tremendous sign and we can't wait to build off that. We want to show you a game that we put it together offensively, defensively, as well as on special teams. We want to show our fanbase that game. And that's what we're chasing.
