Deion Sanders has turned Colorado football into a dangerous program on the recruiting trail, and he’s done it without having to leave Boulder.
Sanders, who took over the Buffaloes in 2022 after three seasons at Jackson State, quickly turned over the roster he inherited, bringing in a significant number of transfers. That trend continued with Colorado’s class in 2023–24. The latest class of new Buffaloes features just seven high school recruits (including five-star IMG Academy product Jordan Seaton) and a whopping 24 transfers.
Given his approach to team building, it isn’t a huge surprise that Sanders does things differently in leading his program. Even so, USA Today‘s revelation that he hasn’t made a single in-home recruiting visit is pretty stunning.
