Colorado football is becoming more and more of a homely scene as more family members join the hood. Deion Sanders is a family man with two sons, Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders, who play on his team. But they’re far from the only set of brothers playing for the Buffs as more families joined Coach Prime’s program. 

Colorado is home to many brothers aside from the Sanders siblings, including LB Jaylen Wester and WR LaJohntay Wester, LB Keaten Wade and QB Destin Wade, CB Kole Mathis and WR Kaleb Mathis, CB Colton Hood and RB Brandon Hood, and DL bros Chidozie Nwankwo and Chijioke Nwankwo. And now, after flipping his commitment from Colton Hood’s old program, another Hood has joined in the fun.

Colorado welcomes another brother to the hood

A recent post on X said: “And now Colorado has 3 Hood Brothers!” Colorado just signed former Central High School LB Trent Hood, named Alabama’s 2024 7A Defensive Player of the Year. The 5’11, 225-pounder, the cousin of Brandon Hood and Colton Hood, recorded 75 total tackles, two sacks, and an interception in 11 games. He joins Colorado’s “5th set of brothers on the team” to hold their FBS record of the most sets of brothers in a football program at 6. 

This haul comes after the Buffs made waves with their latest brother recruit in Chijioke Nwankwo who played two years at Foster, making the Nwankwos the 6th set of brothers. As for the Buffs players who have a brother who is in a position to play football, it could be time to invite them to Colorado, too. This shows the strong bond and unity within the team, as they stand together in the face of challenges. After all, the more, the merrier. And more is what Colorado football needs right now after losing a huge number of players in the transfer portal.  

Colorado faces problems with transfer departures 

Not only did the departure of 40+ players harm Colorado and Deion Sanders’ reputation, but the harsh feedback that the departing players are leaving on Colorado puts the program in a state of vulnerability. Coach Prime, who wasn’t prepared for such attacks, previously said, “You know, when people leave, they take shots and I’m like God come on don’t go out like that because you know I got receipts.”

Shedeur Sanders also showed his frustration at these recurring incidents after former backup QB Gavin Kuld took a shot at him after his departure. The Buffs QB expressed his disapproval over the way social media determines other people’s narratives as he wrote, “Y’all just interview anyone that leave from Colorado just to get a negative look on the program.“ Despite these challenges, Colorado remains steadfast and determined. Perhaps Colorado can prove to everyone they’re good despite several harsh digs on them when the season kicks off, reaffirming their resilience and strength.
