Coach Prime Returns the Favor by Giving Shout Out to Reggie Bush for Getting His Heisman Trophy Back in Formal “Reinstatement”

Reggie Bush once said, “Deion Sanders is one of the best coaches in football right now.” His words struck Deion Sanders deeply, overflowing him with emotions. All he was waiting for was a chance to return the sweet words and loud cheer to Reggie Bush. Bush getting his Heisman trophy back came as the perfect chance.

The first-ever college player to forfeit the all-important Heisman trophy is getting it rightfully back! As the NCAA world hails the moment, Deion Sanders too chips in his part. Sanders took to his Instagram to share a picture of Reggie Bush with the Heisman trophy to give a nod to the historic moment in college football.

The news came straight from the Heisman Trust, announcing the formal “reinstatement” of the trophy to Bush amid what it calls “enormous changes in the college football landscape.” Bush renounced the trophy following significant NCAA sanctions for USC, some of which alleged Bush and his family received improper benefits during his career.

Following the enormous changes in the NCAA policies during last year, the former star of USC would again be induced in the Heisman ceremonies. “Personally, I’m thrilled to reunite with my fellow Heisman winners and be a part of the storied legacy of the Heisman Trophy, and I’m honored to return to the Heisman family,” Bush shared with ESPN.

The entire football world is happy for Bush, with Deion being one of the first to laud it. Of course, since Bush had some big praises and even bigger predictions to make about Deion Sanders, it was only fair for Sanders to return it.

Reggie Bush’s prediction for Deion Sanders

When Bush praised Deion Sanders, he took the opportunity to pass a bold prediction for him as well. “Once his sons are gone, because I think what he’s doing with his sons is history. When’s the last time we’ve seen a head coach and the son is the star quarterback of the team? The script is writing itself,” Bush said.

With Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders to leave for the draft in 2025, would Prime also be prompted to try his hand at NFL coaching, that too in a team where his son is a star QB? As much enticing as the story is, Prime’s undeniable stalwartness toward CU is the only thing against the possibility.

Prime’s loyalty toward CU is evident from the efforts he has put into transforming CU. Like turning the Spring Game set to happen in hours from now into festivities. So do you think Coach Prime would wager it all for his sons to prove Bush’s prediction true? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
