Deion Sanders sends emphatic message, warning to transfer, high school recruits

The moment Deion Sanders was named Colorado‘s head coach, people around the country began to take notice. Sanders was able to bring eyeballs to Jackson State and now has a Power Five program attached to his name. Players are going to be anxious to get involved with the Buffaloes as the rebuild begins.

Sanders has begun to send out offers to both recruits and NCAA transfer portal prospects. As the process works, offers have been announced via Twitter to let the public know. While Sanders is happy to see the wheels in motion, he wants more movement.

“I keep seeing ‘I’m blessed to receive a(n) offer from @CUBuffsFootball,'” Sanders said. “I’m cool with that but if u know what I know you need to start saying ‘I’m blessed to commit to @CUBuffsFootball‘ because They’re Coming Baby! Get in now before it’s too late. #CoachPrime ‘I ain’t hard to Find.'”

Plenty of five-star prospects, both current and past, have either reached out to Colorado or had the Buffaloes reach out to them since Coach Prime was hired.

Former Alabama running back Trey Sanders was one, sending a message out after entering the transfer portal. Injuries derailed his time in Tuscaloosa and getting to play for somebody such as Sanders out West could rejuvenate what seemed to be a promising career.

Sanders is still trying to up the 2023 class, with National Signing Day just over two weeks away. Apparently, Colorado is going to make a run at Clemson five-star defensive line commit Peter Woods, with Sanders contacting the Alabaster, Ala. native.

Offensive lineman Kaydn Proctor is another one Sanders was quick to send an offer out to, being an Iowa commit. He is currently ranked the No. 2 offensive tackle in the country and No. 12 per the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting services.

Being connected to these big-name players is a good start for Colorado but not for Sanders. He wants people who are going to jump into the wagon and commit to the Buffaloes before spots dry up.

Four-star wide receiver Winston Watkins Jr. did but he’s a 2025 prospect and multiple years away from stepping on campus in Boulder. Sanders is looking to improve on the Pac-12’s ninth-ranked 2023 recruiting class and roster immediately.

His message was crystal clear on Tuesday.
