Coach Prime Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes are getting more than one reason to celebrate apart from the last win against Arizona State. Currently one of the most popular college football programs, the Buffaloes owe their success and transformation to their head coach. The Super Bowl champion not only refurbished the Buffs, but he went on to transform every aspect of Colorado college football.?
Under Coach Prime Deion Sanders, Colorado improved its stats both on-field and off-field. One of the most recent achievements of Colorado is that they have risen to be one of the four NCAA teams to surpass 1M followers. But while it may not sound as impressive as it is, if you look at where Colorado stood before the arrival of Deion Sanders, you’ll be awestruck.?

In what would seem impossible to many, Deion Sanders earned his team one million followers by Week 7. Joe Pompliano posted, “Colorado football has officially hit 1 million followers on Instagram. They had just 58,000 followers when Deion Sanders was hired, and they now join Alabama, Ohio State, and LSU as the only college football programs with 1M+ followers. That’s incredible.“

Colorado has been amidst the headlines ever since the season started with Deion Sanders as the head coach. But no one expected the program to reach one million followers on Instagram in such a short time. With just 58K followers, we can only dream in our heads that the destiny of Colorado will change anytime soon. But now, it is more than a 1600% surge in the number of followers from a meager 58,000 followers.?
Joe Pompliano also added, “This might be the most impressive Sanders stat yet.” Deion Sanders has accomplished great feats for Colorado. From raising the Buffs from 1-11 last season to boosting the program’s financial status, Coach Prime is letting the world know that it’s Prime Time for Colorado.?
His arrival in Boulder not only set Colorado’s record looking pretty at 4-2. But it has also led to the initiation of the transfer portal, higher ticket and merchandise sales, NIL opportunities, and better media coverage.?

The story of Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes is like a story from rags to riches. When he arrived in Colorado, he brought star players from his previous program, Jackson State, including two-way star Travis Hunter, and his sons Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders. He hyped everyone up with an impressive three-winning streak for a head-start.?
Colorado lost two games against the Oregon Ducks and USC Trojans without Travis Hunter who sat out three games recovering from an injury in Week 3. According to Deion Sanders, the Five Star Plus+ recruit may be able to hit the field when the Buffs meet the 1-4 Stanford Cardinal on Sunday. He said, “There’s a tremendous chance he could play. He has to be in shape. I don’t want him to be a liability.“?
