At an instant moment that caught fire all over social media, Colorado safety Shilo Sanders opened up on what it was like to see former President Donald Trump speak out in defense of his younger brother, Shedeur Sanders. During a conversation with interviewer Aaron Steinberg, Shilo didn’t refrain from calling it “the coolest thing I’ve ever seen,” referring to Trump’s post.

From that point on, the response from Shilo quickly went trending, with fans from the sports and political world alike chiming in on what was an unusual intersection of comments between college football and the President of the United States.
Donald Trump recently weighed in on the pot of critics who surrounded Shedeur Sanders, the Colorado quarterback and son of Deion Sanders. With the issue revolving around decisions amid performances related to the NFL Draft, Trump came up in vociferous support for the young star, suggesting that the media and a fair share of critics were not realistically representing the case.
It was huge, great, and real to Shilo Sanders: not just a headline but something that worked on a deeper level. When Shilo got the news, it made a personal impact because he saw it as validating the struggles of the Sanders family, especially as they have drag-wrought national attention to the Colorado Buffaloes football program under the leadership of Deion Sanders.
Shilo said all of this not in a political tone, but rather out of pure admiration for someone who has a huge platform standing up for his brother. When he praised Trump, it wasn’t about any policy but rather the emotional weight of the act.
And from Coach Prime’s face in the media, Shedeur’s stardom, and now Shilo’s soaring, repeated headlines keep popping up in college football for the Sanders family. The President’s shoutout added a curveball to the already-swirling narrative, showing just how culturally impactful the Sanders name has become.

If you’re asking the President, Shilo said, “then you know something’s wrong.” In his eyes, that clearly meant a major ‘W’ for Shedeur – and the entire family.
