As the new college football season approaches, the pressure is building for many teams. Several programs have lost key talent to the NFL Draft, making the challenge even greater. Deion Sanders and his Colorado Buffaloes are among the teams feeling the impact.
But Coach Prime has been here before. He has already proven that he can turn a struggling team into a powerhouse. His success at Colorado shows that he knows how to rebuild and push forward—no matter the setbacks. And his recent heartfelt tweet is a clear reflection of that belief.
Deion Sanders Breaks Silence with Passionate Tweet Before New Season Starts
Before Deion Sanders arrived in 2023, Colorado was struggling. The Buffaloes finished the 2022 season with a dismal 1-11 record, one of the worst in college football. The program lacked momentum, and fan engagement was at an all-time low. They were at their lowest point, and everything seemed to be slipping out of their hands.
Then came Coach Prime. Sanders brought charisma, leadership, and a winning mentality, immediately overhauling the roster. More than 50 players entered the transfer portal, and Sanders brought in over 90 new transfers, including his sons, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders, and two-way star Travis Hunter.
Then—boom. The program started to see the real Prime effect, and by 2024, the transformation was undeniable. Colorado finished with a 9-4 record, including a 7-2 conference record.
Looking ahead to the 2025 season, expectations are even higher. However, Coach Prime has lost some of his most ferocious weapons, including Hunter and his two sons, who have all left to start their NFL careers. The new recruits are still unproven, so there’s some uncertainty about the team’s future.
But Sanders isn’t fazed. Taking to X, the 57-year-old coach wrote, “I’m so excited about life! I have no idea what GOD is gonna do next but I do know it will be extraordinary. #CoachPrime Lord I miss our young men & staff. @CUBuffsFootball.”

This shows just how much football means to him. After his football career, he dedicated his life to guiding young athletes. That’s why this message hits harder—it’s a heartfelt reflection of his deep connection to his players and staff.
