Former Jackson State QB Shedeur Sanders joins Deion at Colorado

Former Jackson State quarterback Shedeur Sanders committed to Colorado, joining his father, Deion, who was recently named the Buffaloes' head coach.

Shedeur was widely expected to land with Colorado after Deion left Jackson State to join the Power 5 school. Shedeur initially committed to Florida Atlantic in July 2020 but eventually flipped his commitment to the Tigers after they hired his father as their sideline boss.

Shedeur completed 70.6% of his passes for 3,732 yards and 40 touchdowns as a sophomore at Jackson State in 2022, up from a 65.9% completion rate, 3,231 yards, and 30 touchdowns in 2021. He also rushed for 173 yards and six scores.

Several high-profile recruits have joined Colorado since Deion Sanders was hired Dec. 3, including 2022 second overall recruit Travis Hunter and four-star receiver Adam Hopkins, who had originally committed to Auburn.
