Shilo Sanders is all in on Colorado.

The son of Deion Sanders and starting safety for the Buffaloes has inked an NIL deal with Denver’s Tint My Ride. As part of the agreement, the senior had his Mercedes-Benz GLE 63 wrapped in Colorado colors. He showed it off on his Instagram page on Thursday night.

The former Jackson State star transferred to Colorado this offseason, following his father out to Boulder. The former three-star recruit has always had an affinity for cars. As part of a previous agreement with Porsche of Jackson, he received the keys to a black Porsche.

Now he has his new car decked out in black and gold, repping the Buffs.

“Thank you for trusting us with your ride!” Tint My Ride wrote on Instagram. “Shilo also got the full package and we got the doorjambs and all the original white paint covered inside and out!”

After last weekend’s loss to Oregon, the safety was urinating blood. He was transported to the emergency room when the team returned to Boulder. His status is up in the air for this weekend’s matchup with USC, according to Deion Sanders.

“He’s doing better,” Sanders said earlier this week. “We went to the hospital right after we landed. He’s doing much better. We’re praying that he heals and he’s playing this weekend. He’s a valuable part of our secondary and our team defensively.”

One of Colorado’s defensive leaders, he has 26 total tackles, a forced fumble and a pick-six through four games. Next to his younger brother, Shedeur, the two have found plenty of NIL success.

Shilo Sanders has NIL deals with OikosActively Black and KFC. He also has an impressive social media presence of more than 1.1 million followers. He also has a major YouTube channel, with roughly 99,000 subscribers which equals advertising dollars.
