BOULDER, Colo. — Deion Sanders hadn’t even been formally introduced as the CU head coach, and he already had a blue-chip recruit in his pocket.
Sunday morning, the Buffs picked up a commitment from five-star receiver Winston Watkins Jr. Then, in the afternoon, at a packed press conference inside the Dal Ward Athletic Center, Sanders told his son Shedeur Sanders to stand up as QB1.
“This is your quarterback,” Sanders said. “He’s going to have to earn it, though.”
