Saturday’s stunning win over No. 17 TCU gave Deion Sanders and his family plenty of reason to celebrate following headline-grabbing days for the coach and his son, Colorado quarterback Shedeur. But, lost in the midst of the excitement was the story of the standout efforts of another player with very close ties to both men.
Safety Shilo Sanders, Deion’s second-oldest son, showed up and showed out alongside his father and little brother to help lead the Buffaloes defense in a wild 45–42 season-opening victory.
Sanders, a graduate transfer from Jackson State, logged 10 tackles, nine of which were solo, to tie with CU linebacker Marvin Ham II for the team and game-high.
