In the wild world of college football, where every recruit is a butterfly flapping its wings and every transfer a time paradox, Coach Prime has just dropped a bomb. This ain’t no ordinary move; it’s like a wormhole opening up, drawing in a five-star receiver from Bama. Now, the whole league’s buzzing, wondering who’ll be next. Enter Julian Lewis, the man in the middle, holding all the cards. Meanwhile, DeBoer’s future’s lookin’ kinda bleak, like he’s stuck in a time loop. This ain’t just football, folks, it’s a tangled mess of ambition, drama, and maybe even a little bit of magic.

Even with playoffs out of the picture, the Buffs are still making headlines this season. It’s all thanks to their head coach, Deion Sanders, and his unique techniques to lure young prospects. A perfect example? Former Alabama five-star receiver Caleb Odom’s recent announcement to visit Colorado this weekend. As the player still has 3 years of eligibility remaining, he enters the portal to gain the maximum of the remaining time. But what took everyone’s attention was Julian Lewis’s cryptic story sharing the news with a speculative emoji “🤫” Moreover, Lewis also commented on recruiting analyst Hayes Fawcett’s X post, saying, “Family business,” which increases the speculation even more.

Odom, a former five-star and the nation’s No. 2 tight end out of high school dominated his junior year with Lewis, racking up 63 catches for 1121 yards and 13 TDs. He switched to receiver at Alabama and saw action in every game this season, grabbing 7 catches for 65 yards. This could be the start of something special for these two former high school teammates. Now reunited at Colorado under Coach Prime, they have the potential to become the next Travis-Shedeur duo. You heard that right: their bond and their performance on the field—it’s all unbreakable. And with Julian Lewis likely taking over as starting QB after Shedeur heads to the NFL next year, there’s a good chance Caleb could get his shot too, once Hunter moves on.

Also, Colorado has been looking out to get in Caleb Odom since the moment the news of his decommitment came out. A day back, one of the Buffs’ recruiting insiders shared with Caleb all the turnovers made this season while playing for Alabama. Now if they finally get him, it will not be a shocker, but Deion Sanders’ future uncertainties with the team can be a shocker for both of them.

Deion Sanders’ unwritten future

We all know what Deion Sanders did for the Buffs. The team is finally getting recognition for their gameplay rather than just a tagline of a team that “plays for clicks.” This is all because of Coach Prime’s constant effort and excellent performances by the Buffs’ star performers. There is no way one remembers Colorado and does not think about Sanders’ presence in it. However, with recent turns of events, there is a high chance that Coach Prime might move to the NFL. It is widely expected that he might head to coach NFL team Dallas Cowboys from next season, leaving Boulder.

With their head coach, Mike McCarthy, failing to build a strong team this season, one of the names that often surfaces to take up the charge of the team is Deion Sanders. Knowing what he did for the Buffs this season, taking them from 4-8 to 9-3, is something that is catching everyone’s mind. Moreover, with his two sons, Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, going to the NFL next year, there is a high chance Coach Prime might join one of them. But then Deion Sanders has always mentioned that he has no interest in leaving Colorado and has had no communication with any NFL teams.

Moreover, he also said in an interview that, “I love it where I am.” If that’s the case, then it’s not a stressful situation for Julian Lewis and Caleb Odom in the run; otherwise, it will be like they joined the team for nothing, as Prime Time’s presence is no less than an open invitation of NIL for his athletes.
