Colorado Star QB Shedeur Urges Dad Deion Sanders to Recruit Florida Prodigy to Further Strengthen Offense

Deion Sanders has been on a roll, securing top-tier college football transfer recruits for Colorado, continually aiming for the best. Even after landing a stellar 16-player class, ranking No. 1 for 2024, Sanders expressed over the holidays that there were still gaps to fill–defensive tackle, cornerback, linebacker, and edge-rusher – crucial positions to protect star QB Shedeur.

But hold up, Buffaloes fans. As we ring in the New Year, it seems Shedeur Sanders himself is taking charge of the recruitment game for his coach dad! You won’t believe it – he has found a gem. Picture this: Shedeur, on the hunt for talent, just snagged a promising player.

Shedeur Sanders pushes for LaJohntay Wester to strengthen the Buffaloes’ offense

Shedeur Sanders, the star quarterback for the Colorado Buffaloes, has made a bold move in an effort to fortify the team’s offense. Taking to X, Sanders publicly advocated for the recruitment of former Florida Atlantic University (FAU) wide receiver LaJohntay Wester to join the Buffaloes, stating, “We want @la_wester in Boulder.”

As confirmed through his social media profile, Wester, a junior wide receiver, recently entered the transfer portal on Friday, December 15. His collegiate career at FAU showcased remarkable statistics, boasting 2, 703 receiving yards and 21 touchdowns. Notably, in the previous season, Wester reached career highs with 1, 168 receiving yards, eight touchdowns, and an impressive 97. 3 receiving yards per game.

Beyond his receiving prowess, Wester showcased versatility on special teams, tallying 290 kick return yards, and 632 punt return yards, and securing his first punt return touchdown against the University of South Florida in the past season. His exceptional performance led him to be ranked second nationally in receptions per game, 11th in receiving yards and receiving yards per game in the 2023 season. However, on December 15, 2023, he declared his entry to the transfer portal.

Meanwhile, Auburn has extended a transfer offer to Wester

Wester’s achievements didn’t go unnoticed in the college football landscape. Shortly after entering the transfer portal, Auburn swiftly extended an offer to the talented wideout, aiming to revamp their receiving corps following a lackluster performance in the previous year.
