Deion Sanders' sons Shilo and Shedeur take on some recruiting duties for Colorado

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — The trust Deion Sanders places in his sons, Shilo and Shedeur, extends well beyond the field and into the world of the transfer portal.

As leaders of the Colorado Buffaloes, Shilo, a defensive back, and Shedeur, the QB, wouldn’t have it any other way. They’ve made themselves reachable through social media to any player in the transfer portal who’s interested in Boulder. Although, Shilo did caution the Buffaloes aren’t “Last Chance U.”

“I think the most prominent players at every program are probably your best recruiters,” coach Deion Sanders said Thursday after a spring practice session. “I wish you could have a conversation with Shedeur and just tell him to just show you his (direct messages) one time. You would not believe the kids that call him and call Shilo, because they’re high-profile young men.

“That’s how the recruit thing works, man, for real, is players,” the coach added. “They know who the dogs are and who the cats are.”
