Deion Sanders has been mysterious about his health all spring and summer. The Colorado Buffaloes head coach came down with something during the spring season, leaving him at his Texas ranch for over two months. Due to this, he was not able to carry on with recruiting and other activities of a college football head coach in Boulder.
However, he appeared during the Big 12 Media Days and has been vocal that his health has improved a lot. On Friday, the $60 million net worth (according to Celebrity Net Worth) Pro Football Hall of Famer shared a four-word update on X regarding his health:
“Back and Feeling Great!”
Back and Feeling Great!
— COACH PRIME (@DeionSanders) July 25, 2025
Earlier his elder son Deion Sanders Jr. confirmed in a live stream that Coach Prime is “feeling well” but has not provided a timeline for his return to Boulder.
“He’ll tell y’all soon enough what he’s going through, what he went through,” Deion Jr. said via ESPN. “When we get back to Boulder, I don’t know. I’m waiting until my dad leaves. When he leaves, then I’ll go. Until then, I’m going to sit here with him.”
Sanders has mentioned losing around 14 pounds.

Just five days ago, Deion Sanders Jr. posted a new video on his Well Off Media channel where Coach Prime was joined by his youngest daughter, Shelomi Sanders, who plays basketball for Alabama A&M.
In the video, Sanders engaged in modest physical activity, including entering an ice bath, shooting some basketball and playing tennis. He also completed a 1.3‑mile walk‑run with Shelomi.
“You know I’m still going through something… I ain’t all the way recovered,” Coach Prime said.
Deion Sanders has been discreet about his health. At the July 9 Big 12 Media Days, Sanders declined to discuss his condition. He said:
“I’m here to talk about my team. I’m not going to talk about my health.”
He redirected questions and rather said that he feels “blessed,” “living good,” and has “not a care in the world.”
For context, Sanders has had procedures done previously. Four years ago, Sanders had two of his toes amputated due to serious blood clots. In 2023, he underwent another surgery for blood clots in his legs and missed Pac‑12 Media Day.
This comes at a time when Deion Sanders has to prepare for his first season without the presence of his son and quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Heisman winner Travis Hunter.
Either of Kaidon Salter or Julian Lewis are expected to take QB1 role for Colorado this upcoming season.
