Colorado HC Deion Sanders reveals significant personal news ahead of 2025 season

Deion Sanders had been noticeably absent from the spotlight following the end of the last NCAAF season, but his focus is now fully set on what’s ahead. The veteran head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes revealed the reasons behind his time away from football activities.

During a press conference, and accompanied by his medical team, Coach Prime revealed that he had been dealing with a bladder tumor which, fortunately for him, was completely removed — allowing him to continue working as normal.

The news was reported by journalist Tom Pelissero, who shared more details about the announcement through his official X (formerly Twitter) account. The update came from one of the most experienced coaches in College Football.

“At a press conference, Colorado coach Deion Sanders’ doctors announce they removed a bladder tumor and ‘he is cured from the cancer.’ Sanders implores everyone to get checked out and get the right care. “Without wonderful people like this, I wouldn’t be sitting here today.'”

Perhaps the biggest challenge right now is figuring out how to replace the departures of last season’s top stars, who are now taking their first steps in the NFL.

Shedeur Sanders, now with the Browns, and Travis Hunter, now a member of the Jaguars, are perhaps the most prominent examples in this regard, given their incredible stats during their time in Boulder. With a crucial period of preparation ahead, Deion Sanders must now figure out how to fill the significant void they’ve left on the team.

If he can pull it off, there’s no doubt his team will once again be a contender for the National Championship Game — something this program has longed for over the years. Coach Prime is determined to work tirelessly to make it happen.
