Coach Prime Puts His Foot Down on Shedeur Sanders & Travis Hunter for 2 Special Reasons

Colorado coach Deion Sanders and his players have made the headlines in the ever-changing college football world, where talent meets strategy and humility is the foundation of success. With the draft being closer than ever, Coach Prime was recently heard asserting his authority in steering the future of two of the most promising athletes in his squad.

His son, Shedeur Sanders, and his close friend Travis Hunter, who have an unwavering determination to succeed, have been protected and provided an environment to flourish by Deion Sanders and his staff. Recently, he was heard asking the young prospects to put their feet down and keep their heads focused on their development as changes bloom in Colorado.

Can Shedeur Sanders reach his full potential with all the hype?

In a recent candid interview, Coach Prime said, “I want the best for Shedeur, both on and off the field. It’s not just about football; it’s about creating opportunities for him to thrive.” He has underlined two primary reasons behind being the backbone of Travis and Shedeur’s futures. Firstly, he knows the ins and outs of the industry, so he has an added knowledge of which move would benefit the players more. Secondly, he wants to help Shedeur and Travis as their mentor and see them succeed in their career.

Deion exclaimed he would go as far as pulling an ‘Eli Manning move‘ if needed. Manning’s move is the epitome of personal decisions when he was drafted by the San Diego Chargers but refused to play for the side, leading to him being traded to the Giants. Prime has expressed outrightly that there are ‘certain cities‘ where he won’t let his players move.

While he trusts his son to get through all the media attention, he has stated, “I’ve seen firsthand the impact of a toxic environment on young athletes.” While he is expected to be drafted early next year, what potential destinations could fit his future the best in your perception?

Deion’s special connection with Travis Hunter

A few people are hailed as generational talents, but Travis Hunter has been different. With Coach Prime’s mentorship, he has been instrumental in shaping Colorado’s journey, standing at a crossroads of opportunity and expectation. Coach Prime has been seen joking around and acting as more than just a coach many times.

“Travis is more than just a football player; he’s a leader,” Coach Prime emphasized. “My goal is to ensure that he lands in an environment where his talents are celebrated and his voice is heard.”

Both the talented Colorado players will be eligible next year and are expected to be amongst the top picks. With Deion Sanders vocal about playing a close part in their development and overseeing their future, where will they land? Let us know in the comments below.
