Realizing his mistakes, Deion Sanders is making strategic attempts to change the situation.
Coach Prime is known for being the ultimate deal at recruiting players. His objective this time was to make the Buffs’ offenses as lethal as possible to endure any lapses in the next season, and now he’s accomplished it in just 72 hours.

Let’s have a look at the recent players roped in by the Buffs. Jordan Seaton is the #1 ranked left tackle across the country. This was followed by Tyler Johnson, the Texans’ right guard in all Big-12 conferences. Thirdly, Yakiri Walker came to the side from UConn. Buffs will also have a new right tackle Kahlil Benson and left guard Justin Mayers. All these recruits would enable Coach Prime to help his son Shedeur play freely and not worry about his injuries.

The complete change in the offensive line gives some cushion to Shedeur Sanders. The team’s QB had an impressive 2023 season that saw him scoring 27 touchdowns along with completing nearly 3,300 yards. However, this came at the cost of hurting himself by being in the firing line. Moreover, the player was sacked a record 52 times in the season alone which showed that the player was fighting a lone battle.
