The Colorado head coach, Deion Sanders, spent the last two months at his Texas home with his son Deion Sanders Jr., aka Bucky, during his very aggressive cancer battle.
During a press conference on Monday, it was announced that Coach Prime, who has a net worth of $60M (according to celebrity net worth), was diagnosed with bladder cancer, which was removed by surgery.
The cancer journey wasn’t easy on Deion Sanders. In the latest vlog posted by his son Bucky, Coach Prime was seen reflecting on his life as he tells Bucky he’s cancer-free on May 21 2025.
“God is so good, I’m going to reward me, because going through this process, it make you really think and say, am I living like, am I really living and am I allow my kids and everybody to live. So I’m gonna get me something that I know and I don’t need nothing, but I’m gonna get something I want to think I’m gonna get that property back there for y’all. So it’s 177 acres. So we could enjoy that. Y’all could build there, and we could do our time 15 acre lake back there as well.” (time stamp 2:00)
Deion Sanders Opens Up About Not Telling Kids About His Medical Condition
Deion Sanders decided to keep his cancer battle a secret, even from his kids, except Bucky.
In a recent conversation with Asante Samuel, Coach Prime opened up about how even though his daughter came by the Texas home a couple of times, when the father-daughter duo spent some time running and ice bathing, Shelomi Sanders still didn’t know what her had was going through.
Coach Prime shared that it was both rough and funny to the point when his daughter came to the hospital and they told her it was something about his foot.
“It was rough, my brother. You know, it was so funny. To this point, my daughter just called me, Shelomi, who is playing basketball. She just called me. She’s like, ‘Daddy, why didn’t you tell me?’ She actually came to the hospital and came by the house a couple of times and saw me. But she still didn’t know because we told her it was something about my foot.” Deion added.
Deion Sanders is now back at Colorado to resume his head coaching duties after a 2 months long hiatus.
