The June 12th episode of Thee Pregame Network showcased Shedeur interacting with his Special Olympics fans, teaching them to throw a pass one by one on campus. The Buffs quarterback even took a moment to take pictures with them and proudly held their flag with “Special Olympics Colorado 2026” written on it. But Shedeur was not the only Buff to interact with the athletes. Joining him was his teammate, Jeremiah Brown, who further assisted in the smooth flow of the camp.

The CU linebacker also interacted with a few athletes, signing their footballs. Moreover, Chaka Sutton, the supervisor of the Special Olympics athletes, expressed that this is a dream come true for many of his athletes who were eager to meet the Buffaloes players in person, especially Shedeur. “Several of the players and your athletes got to meet Shedeur Sanders. They were excited about that,” Sutton remarked. “That’s a memory they’ll never forget.” Sutton also expressed his eagerness to return next year, highlighting the profound impact this experience has had on the athletes.

Spеcial Olympic tеam wants to continue thе camp in coming years

Uncle Neely asked Sutton if he wanted to keep this football camp going in the coming years, and Sutton’s feedback was quite positive. Seeing 75 of their athletes enrolled in this camp in their inaugural year with CU, Sutton said he is looking forward to continuing this program. “We’d love to continue this,” said Sutton.

“I think today we have about 75 who registered. You know, we’d love to double that and continue to grow and grow it, and just open that opportunity up for more and more of our athletes here in Colorado,” he further added. Sutton’s feedback was quite touching, as he wanted the special athletes who are also a part of the Buff Nation to have the “ultimate opportunity” to learn from the best in Colorado.
