University of Colorado announces new course named after Deion Sanders

Deion Sanders is making an impact on the University of Colorado, outside of coaching football games.

The school has named a new elective course after Coach Prime, according to Jimmie Searfoss. Searfoss, who is a student at Colorado, posted a screenshot with an announcement of the course.

The course is designed to help college athletes. Here are the full details:

As you can see, the course will be called “Prime Time: Public Performance and Leadership.”

It will be “co-taught by a variety of media experts.”

According to the description, the class named after Deion Sanders will “focus on helping college athletes explore how to manage their time in college, prepare for career, manage their celebrity, identify when to best speak into their profit center, advocate for worthy causes, coordinate with sports agents and how to interact with journalists and the media.”

Deion Sanders just wrapped up his first season at Colorado, which ended with the Buffaloes going 4-8. Following a 3-0 start, Colorado was 1-8 over its final nine games, including losing its final six games.

Still, coach Prime has expressed confidence that he can turn the program around. Sanders is trying to sign some high school recruits and transfer portal players who can come in and make an impact for the Buffaloes.

Joel Klatt reacts to Colorado’s recent transfer portal moves

Deion Sanders has been loading up on players from the transfer portal as of late.

In nearly a week, Colorado has added four offensive linemen from the transfer portal, while securing a commitment from the No. 1 offensive tackle in the 2024 cycle in Jordan Seaton. On Monday, FOX Sports analyst Joel Klatt evaluated Colorado’s recent wave of success.

“It’s just been a really good week for Colorado,” Klatt said. “I know they’re a four-win team and there’s a sector of college football fans that just immediately don’t want to hear about this, but if they get better in the right spot, they’re going to be competitive moving to a conference in which they’ll have an easier schedule than they did a year ago. If they protect Shedeur — they’re going to be a really good team.”

Deion Sanders wasn’t hesitant to discuss Colorado’s need to improve its offensive line this season. In fairness, the evidence was in plain sight. The Buffaloes allowed 56 sacks this year, the second-most in the country.

Quarterback Shedeur Sanders suffered the consequences. In Colorado’s Week 12 loss against Washington State, Shedeur fractured his back. Deion wasn’t willing to watch his son suffer the same fate next season.
