Deion Sanders continues to recover from an unknown health issue that kept him out of Boulder, Colorado, for most of June. While Coach Prime hasn’t revealed the exact problem, frequent updates on his general progress have been made through his social media handles and those of his eldest son, Deion Sanders Jr., all of which say that Coach Prime is on the path to a sound recovery.
On Wednesday, the Colorado Buffaloes coach received a visit amid his recovery. Rappers Lil Wayne and Lil Twist offered their support to Deion Sanders with a personal visit to the Sanders estate in Canton, Texas. Deion Sanders Jr. shared a video on his social media.

It does seem that Deion Sanders is at least well enough to go out of his Texas ranch to get food. His Instagram post from Thursday, Jul 3, shows him visiting his favorite restaurant in town:
“Ain’t no way I can miss one of my favorite restaurants @downhomecanton ! The food is great the service is better and if u want Country Cooking this is it. The Desserts are so darn good. Can’t wait to Take @deionsandersjr to 1st Monday.” Wrote Prime on the caption

Deion Sanders’ absence during these key months of the recruitment game has worried the Buffaloes fans. They are afraid his absence might hurt the recruitment of the class of 2026, especially now that some of the best players of the program in the last two seasons have left for the NFL.
Urban Meyer’s opinion on what 2025 will mean for Colorado and Deion Sanders
If one word can be used to describe what analysts expect from the 2025 Colorado Buffaloes, it’s uncertainty. Add one more voice to that chorus, that of former Ohio State and Florida coach Urban Meyer.
Speaking this week on the “Triple Option” podcast, Meyer went in depth on how 2025 will completely differ from the previous two seasons of Deion Sanders at Colorado and how that could cause the team to underperform.
“He set a standard. Once you hit a nine-win (season), it’s almost like, ok, the crowd will start to thin out if they start losing, and then you got some issues,” Meyer said this week on the Triple Option podcast “They’ve been the talk of college football, and the other thing I want to point out is that this Colorado team, we don’t know what it’s gonna look like. We knew last year what it was gonna look like. You had Travis Hunter, you had Shedeur, you had a certain look to it. This will be completely different. They don’t have the transfer portal, the 40 guys, it’s much less.”
