 Shedeur Sanders, Colorado, Player News

  02/27/23 - QB Shedeur SandersSr/2025, Colorado, 6-2, 215 (DS#2 QB) + More +

  When asked by reporters for a fair quarterback comp for incoming CU quarterback Shedeur Sanders, the new QB1 and son of first-year coach Deion Sanders, Buffs wide receivers coach Brett Bartolone went long. And Strong. As in, former Nevada great Carson Strong. "As far as arm talent goes (the younger Sanders) is as good as I've seen at this level," Bartolone said during a meet-the-assistants news conference for Coach Prime's new hires this past Thursday, the staff's first engagement with Colorado media. "I've been around guys (such as) Carson Strong, who was a two-time (first-team) Mountain West player at Nevada. And I mean, (Strong) could touch anywhere on the field (with a ball) … "(Sanders) understands what defenses are trying to do to him. You know, as a quarterback, he has a very, very high IQ level, he really does." With Sanders, Buffs fans would happily take the second coming of Cam Ward, especially as their backstories share more than a few parallels.

Like the younger Sanders, Ward is a talented Texan who transferred from an FCS power (Incarnate Word) to the Pac-12 (Washington State), only his move was between the 2021 and '22 seasons. And like Sanders now, there were questions as to whether the latter would have the same success at Wazzu as he did against lower-level competition. The short version? Ward delivered. After throwing for 47 scores and 4,678 yards at the FCS level in 2021, the young quarterback had 3,231 yards through the air with 23 TD passes during his first season with the Cougars last fall, helping steer Wazzu to a win at Wisconsin, a 7-6 record and a berth in the Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl. Coming off a 1-11 season, Buffs fans would savor seven wins and a postseason berth this fall. "Shedeur is good. He's been very good," Brandon Huffman, 247Sports.com national recruiting analyst, told The Post recently. "Sure, it will be a jump, like Cam Ward's was from Incarnate Word to Washington State. "The difference (between Sanders and former Michigan and UNC Bears QB Dylan McCaffrey is that) McCaffrey was pretty average in college and didn't 'wow' you, even in high school - at major events, he struggled and saw his stock plunge. Sanders is much better and (was) far more successful in college." - Denver Post

  Shedeur Sanders had yet to play his final game at Jackson State before Fox Sports in December labeled him as a favorite to win the 2023 Heisman Trophy for Colorado. Throwing that type of hype on Sanders right away might be a bit much, but the fact that CU has a quarterback being talked about nationally is rare and it's a big deal for the Pac-12 Conference. "The conference will have the greatest collection of quarterbacks going into the season, as far as athletes ready to make sure their universities are in contention," Merton Hanks, the Pac-12's senior associate commissioner for football operations, said to BuffZone in a recent interview.

Without having played a snap at the FBS level, Sanders may not be at the top of that list yet, but he's one of the most intriguing quarterbacks in the country going into next season. In two seasons at Jackson State, Sanders threw for 6,963 yards, 70 touchdowns and only 14 interceptions. He added nine rushing touchdowns, including six this past season. In 2022, he ranked third in the FCS in passing touchdowns (40) and fourth in passing yards (3,732) and completion percentage (70.6%). "I'm looking forward to seeing Shedeur against the Pac-12 defenses," Hanks said. "That's going to be something that I'll be certainly paying close attention to." - Daily Camera

  Deion Sanders, known as "Prime Time" during his Hall of Fame playing career and has since transitioned into "Coach Prime," has been named the 28th full-time head football coach at the University of Colorado, athletic director Rick George announced Saturday evening. Sanders, 55, joins the CU program from Jackson State University (Jackson, Miss.), where in three seasons the Tigers compiled a 27-5 record and won back-to-back Southwestern Athletic Conference championships competing on the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) level; that mark includes a 12-0 record this season.

Jackson State defeated Southern, 43-24, in the SWAC title game on Saturday. "There were a number of highly qualified and impressive candidates interested in becoming the next head football coach at Colorado, but none of them had the pedigree, the knowledge and the ability to connect with student-athletes like Deion Sanders," George said. "Not only will Coach Prime energize our fanbase, I'm confident that he will lead our program back to national prominence while leading a team of high quality and high character." At Jackson State, Sanders achieved tremendous success on and off the field as a fierce advocate for additional exposure and a level playing field for all Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Sanders brought national attention to HBCUs, pushing for opportunities to highlight its talent and the culture. In March 2022, Sanders held a Pro Day featuring athletes from four other schools in the state of Mississippi to provide a platform in front of 22 NFL teams and the Canadian Football League. In April 2022, Jackson State became the first HBCU to have its spring football game televised live nationally on ESPNU. - Colorado Football

  Shedeur Sanders threw for four touchdowns, including two on three first-quarter turnovers, staking Jackson State to a big early lead on the way to routing Southern 43-24 in Saturday's Southwest Athletic Conference championship that was possibly Deion Sanders' final game as Tigers coach. Reports swirled before the game that Sanders would announce his departure from the FCS program after three seasons to become head coach at Colorado. Sanders acknowledged an offer from the school earlier this week and added that he had talked to other FBS programs about vacancies. Colorado's board of regents called a special meeting for Sunday but hasn't commented on any candidates taking over the Buffaloes. JSU (12-0) quashed any questions about Sanders' future being a distraction by completing the first unbeaten regular season in school history and claiming its second consecutive SWAC championship. The Tigers' top-ranked defense set the tone by quickly pouncing on the Jaguars for three turnovers in eight plays in the first quarter.

Shedeur Sanders, the Hall of Fame coach's son, and the Tigers easily converted the takeaways into a 26-0 lead after 15 minutes, a run boosted by Sy'veon Wilkerson's 1-yard TD run two plays after Herman Smith III's 37-yard interception return. Two fumbles created chances for Sanders to hit Shane Hooks for TD passes of 14 and 40 yards and two-point conversions to Kevin Coleman Jr. Sanders' 14-yard TD pass to Coleman made it 33-7 at halftime, but Southern (7-5) didn't quit and even got within 36-24 late in the in third quarter on Glendon McDaniel's 42-yard TD run. Sanders, the SWAC's offensive player of the year, completed 31 of 44 passes for 305 yards. Hooks caught five passes for 98 yards and Wilkerson rushed 15 times for 61 yards. McDaniel was 15 of 34 passing for 220 yards and a TD for Southern. The Tigers advanced to the Celebration Bowl for historically Black colleges on Dec. 17 in Atlanta against Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference champion North Carolina Central. The Tigers' victory improved Sanders to 27-5 as coach of the FCS program and came days after he was named SWAC coach of the year for the second consecutive season. - Jackson State/AP College Football

  Shedeur Sanders handled prime time just fine, leading Jackson State to a 35-0 victory over Southern on Saturday for its best start in more than 40 years. The son of "Prime Time" Deion Sanders, now known as Coach Prime of Jackson State and the reason College GameDay was in town, ran for two scores and threw for another to lead the Tigers to a weather-delayed win. After a scoreless first quarter, Shedeur Sanders took control in the second quarter with three scores for the Tigers (8-0, 5-0 Southwestern Athletic Conference). He connected with Sy'veon Wilkerson for a 3-yard touchdown to cap an 18-play, 80-yard drive. Then Sanders ran the final 42 yards of a quick three-play 71-yard drive and three seconds before halftime, Sanders scored on a 12-yard burst then added a two-point conversion pass. Wilkerson scored on a 26-yard run for the only score in the third quarter and then the game was delayed by more than an hour because of weather. Southern (5-3, 3-2) was held to 221 total yards with two turnovers. It's only the fourth time since 2005 that College GameDay featured an HBCU matchup. - Jackson State/AP College Football

  Jackson State coach Deion Sanders said Thursday that his team is not yet ready to play a team like Alabama. Sanders was asked by WVTM13 about Tide coach Nick Saban saying Tuesday that he would "very much be in favor" of scheduling HBCUs, including those in-state. "He's not gonna play us right now," Sanders said at SWAC media day in Birmingham. "We're not ready to that. We're not into sacrificing our kids to get a check. He got to give me another year." Alabama has not yet announced an FCS opponent for its 2023 season. It will play Austin Peay from that level of competition this November.

Alabama does not have a history of playing historically-Black colleges and universities, prompting a question of Saban at SEC media days earlier this week on the topic. Sanders sees size as the roadblock to his team being able to compete in such a game. "I got to beef up in the front," he said. "The difference in Power 5s and HBCUs right now is those big guys in the middle. It's not the quarterbacks, it's not the receivers and DBs or the skill positions. It's those big dogs in the middle. We've got to beef up that to be able to compete with something like that." - Birmingham News

  Shedeur Sanders threw two fourth-quarter touchdown passes to Malachi Wideman to help Jackson State beat Southern on Saturday night to clinch a berth in the SWAC Championship Game and end a 9-game losing streak against the Jaguars. Jackson State (9-1, 7-0 Southwestern Athletic Conference) forced a punt and took possession near midfield with 7:34 to play and trailing 17-7. Sanders completed five passes on a six-play drive that culminated when Wideman caught a 13-yard TD less than two minutes later and, after Southern (4-6, 3-4) went three-and-out, Sanders was sacked for a 12-yard loss and the Tigers were penalized for a false start and a delay of game before Wideman caught a 50-yard touchdown pass from Sanders to make it 21-17 with 1:42 remaining.

Jackson State - which clinched the East Division title, its first title since 2013 - closes the regular season at home against Alcorn State next Saturday and will host the SWAC Championship Game on Dec. 4. Sanders was 24-of-31 passing for 260 yards with two interceptions - just his fourth and fifth of the season - and lost a fumble. Jerodd Simms had 98 yards rushing and a touchdown for the Jaguars. Acting head coach Gary Harrell improved to 4-0 while filling in for Deion Sanders, who has missed the past four weeks for Jackson State after suffering complications from foot surgery in September. Sanders, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and Shedeur's father, was released from the hospital earlier in the week and returned to the sideline against Southern. - Jackson State/AP College Football

  Shedeur Sanders threw for 362 yards and three touchdowns Saturday night to lead Jackson State to a 38-16 victory over Tennessee State in the Southern Heritage Classic.
