Deion Sanders: 'Don't Know How I'm Gonna Handle' Last Game Coaching Shedeur, Shilo

Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders will coach his sons, quarterback Shedeur and safety Shilo, as well as Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter for the final time on Saturday when his team plays No. 17 BYU in the Alamo Bowl.

It will obviously be an emotional evening for Sanders in San Antonio, and the Pro Football Hall of Famer understandably isn't sure how he'll handle it just yet.

"It's gonna be something to behold," Sanders said, per Brent Schrotenboer of USA Today.

"I don't know how I'm gonna handle it. I know Travis is gonna trigger me. I know it because he always does, and he's gonna bring tears out of my eyes. But I don't look forward to it. But I do, because that means they're going to another level, another chapter of life. And they're gonna soar."

The quartet has been together for four years, first at Jackson State (2021-2022) before heading to Colorado last season. The Buffaloes were 1-11 in 2022 but has since improved to 9-3 in 2024 with a No. 20 ranking in the Associated Press poll. A win over BYU will certainly cement a Top 20 finish, putting the exclamation point on a tremendous program comeback.

Sanders definitively said on the Pacman Jones Show that he's staying at Colorado despite speculation connecting him to the NFL or other college programs.

But Shedeur and Shilo Sanders and Hunter are now headed to the pros. In fact, it's certainly possible that Shedeur Sanders and Hunter end up going one-two (in some order) in the NFL draft, or at least very high up.

For now, though, they'll all finish out the season in Texas. Kickoff on Saturday is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET.
