Deion Sanders Reacts to CU Buffs Potentially Pairing Travis Hunter With ‘The Wall’ to Neutralize Cormani McClain’s Ugly Exit

“We Coming!” — that’s Deion Sanders‘ signature catchphrase, and he’s backing it up yet again. After a dismal 2022 season with just one win, Deion Sanders revitalized the Colorado Buffaloes with his impressive recruiting haul leading to three consecutive victories, proving his earlier boast: “We told you we were coming.” Now, after the recent wave of player departures, he’s rebuilding the roster once more.

The Buffaloes have landed a dozen transfer commitments in the last two weeks, and they’re not finished yet. Deion recently hosted several new recruits, including a potential replacement for departed cornerback Cormani McClain. Photos of their meeting have gone viral, with Deion even reacting to an image featuring the “We Coming” slogan. 

Deion Sanders is excited to land Jeremiah Hughes

After coveted cornerback recruit Cormani McClain’s surprising departure, Deion Sanders is working hard to find a replacement for his Colorado Buffaloes team. His recent meeting with LSU transfer cornerback Jeremiah Hughes has sparked excitement, with a viral photo of the two in front of a “We Coming” slogan fueling speculation. A fan reshared the picture, commenting, “We know what ‘the wall’ means,” implying a strong defensive roster in the making. Deion Sanders himself responded with “Yes Lawd!”, hinting at a potential commitment from Hughes.

If Hughes joins the Buffs, he could be a valuable asset alongside two-way star Travis Hunter, who plays both as wide receiver and cornerback. While Hunter will remain the starter, Hughes’ addition would provide depth and support for Colorado’s defense. 

Could Travis Hunter gain a new star teammate?

It’s a lucky time for the Buffs as Jeremiah Hughes is exploring a transfer after playing 13 games as a true freshman at LSU. The defensive back, standing tall at 6-foot and 193 pounds, brings valuable blocking skills to the field. Hailing from Las Vegas, he was a key player on the Tigers’ special teams. He went on to earn the “starter” title for kickoff coverage, kickoff returns, and punt returns sooner than expected. 

While his meeting with the Colorado Buffaloes remains uncertain, Hughes recently visited the UCLA team and also has a trip to Washington planned.

However, if he chooses the Buffs, he could not only pair up with star Travis Hunter but also step into a significant role as the team is in a rebuilding phase. With Hunter likely heading to the NFL draft next year, a spot would open up for Hughes to shine soon. Ultimately, the decision rests with Hughes and how he envisions his future on the field.
