“Gonna Build A Monument”: Deion Sanders Envisions One-Man Mount Rushmore with His Face Overlooking Stadium in Colorado

Deion Sanders came to Colorado like a whirlwind of transformation that touched several aspects of the citizens besides college football. His presence led to the Buffs selling out every game in the 2023 season, boosting merchandise sales, and garnering nationwide attention through media coverage despite falling 4-8. Not only that, his presence in Boulder has led to a program record of 68,000 applications for the 2024 fall semester. 

It seems like Coach Prime has built a home in Colorado. He already has his mansion gifted to him by his sons – Deion Sanders Jr., Shilo Sanders, and Shedeur Sanders. He previously told Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson on Nightcap, “Colorado has provided everything I need, man, I’m having the time of my life. I love Boulder, Colorado.” With that being said, he reveals a vision of his future as the “face” of Boulder.

Deion Sanders wants his bearing etched in Colorado 

After one season in Colorado, Deion Sanders is already trying to mesh himself in Boulder with his latest revelation on DNVR Buffs. In their X post, they wrote in the caption, “Coach Prime says he wants “Prime” carved in one of the Flatirons when it is all said and done.” In the video, the Buffs HC expresses his content in Colorado saying, “I’m happy, I’m cool, I’m sound in Boulder. I love it 100%. We gonna build a monument. You know those mounts out there that overlooks the stadium, I want my head in one of them.”

His vision is met with a round of hearty laughter from the hosts Jake Schwanitz and Ryan Koenigsberg after which one of them suggested a one-man Mount Rushmore. The four Presidents’ heads found their place on Mt. Rushmore after representing the most important events in the nation’s history. Coach Prime is making waves in Colorado in just a single year. Add more years to him in Boulder, we never know what he could achieve. Perhaps, the head on the mountains could be one of his achievements!

Deion Sanders rejected offers from other universities to remain in Colorado

In a previous appearance on Undisputed, Coach Prime revealed how he was offered coaching roles in other programs. He said, “[My phone rang] a couple times. I got a kickstand down. It’s great. I love this fanbase. I love looking at the window right now at these snow-covered mountains.” Despite Colorado being a struggling team, his loyalty and dedication to the program is unwavering. 

“I’m not the kind of guy that’s gonna run off to somebody else’s school and inherit an already-winning team,” Deion Sanders told the media. Even his oldest son Deion Sanders Jr. had this to say about Coach Prime, “I’ve seen him do a lot of great things but it’s nothing compared to what he’s doing now.”

With these revelations, it looks like Deion Sanders might be there in Colorado for a long time, despite many thinking he will move on from Colorado once his kids have been drafted. What are your thoughts on the situation? Let us know in the comments.
