Coach Prime is back at full strength, guiding Colorado's revived quest

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders says he’s back to his best after recovering from bladder cancer surgery and a frail season last year. He overhauled the staff and roster, bringing in Brennan Marion to run the offense and elevating Chris Marve on defense, with a focus on players he recruited and a culture of strong communication. Sanders believes Colorado now has the personnel to succeed in the Big 12 and beyond, highlights quarterback Julian Lewis as a key piece if he plays more consistently, and says he’s focused on the present, embracing the opportunity to mentor a team in turnaround mode.

Shedeur Sanders swaps Browns No. 12 for No. 2

The Browns announced that Shedeur Sanders will wear No. 2 in his second NFL season, switching from No. 12—the number he wore at Colorado and a top-selling Browns jersey last year. Changing numbers can trigger costly inventory issues for teams and fans; it’s unclear who would pay for remaining No. 12 jerseys, though Nike/NFL may grant a dispensation given the likely surge in demand for No. 2.

Fauria Breaks with Colorado Over Shedeur Jersey Retirement

Former Colorado star Christian Fauria says he won’t back Deion Sanders’ program after Colorado retired Shedeur Sanders’ No. 2 jersey, calling the move a vanity project and saying he tapped out in April 2025; he argues the program’s priorities and jersey-retirement standards have shifted since the 1990s, notes that Darian Hagan’s jersey hasn’t been retired, and emphasizes his stance isn’t personal toward Shedeur or his family, while Colorado’s 16-21 record under Prime and a 3-9 season in 2025 provide context.

Fauria ends support for Deion Sanders' Colorado over jersey retirement

Former Colorado tight end Christian Fauria says he has tapped out on backing Deion Sanders' Colorado program after the retirement of Shedeur Sanders' No. 2 jersey. He calls the move a vanity project driven by Sanders’ ego, though he still hopes Colorado wins. Fauria emphasizes he can root for Shedeur as a player but not for the jersey retirement, which he believes signals the program’s priorities. His son played at Colorado but transferred to Delaware. Colorado is 16-21 under Sanders, and Fauria suggests more wins are needed to maintain fan support.

LSU lands top uncommitted transfer Seaton from Colorado

Colorado offensive tackle Jordan Seaton, the top uncommitted transfer, committed to LSU from the NCAA Transfer Portal, choosing the Tigers over Texas, Miami, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Oregon. The 6-5, 330-pound lineman will have two years of eligibility in Baton Rouge after starting 22 games at Colorado across two seasons, including 13 as a true freshman in 2024, earning second-team All-Big 12 honors and Freshman All-American honors, and carrying a $1.7 million NIL valuation. Seaton visited LSU this past weekend and posted a Tiger Stadium photo with coach Lane Kiffin, signaling LSU's major roster add this offseason as the program rebuilds under Kiffin.
