Colorado football’s Deion Sanders finds Shedeur Sanders replacement in transfer portal

As said before, he is a four-star player according to 247 Sports and was described by Andrew Ivins as a “de facto point guard,” which could be exactly what the school needs after the production of Sanders.

“A de facto point guard on the gridiron that can distribute the football like few others,” Ivins said in his scouting report. “Won’t blow many away with his build, but makes up for his subpar measurables with his ability to scan the field and manipulate defenses with his eyes. Compact release allows him to rip tight, accurate spirals to all different levels. Might not have a true cannon, but will drop balls over coverage well into the deeper third. Has proven to be a crafty mover both in and outside of the pocket and will extend plays like a true escape artist.”

“Elected to forgo his senior season after reclassifying and moving up a year, but has already shown that he’s well ahead of the curve, posting a 25-3 record in two seasons while competing in the Peach State’s highest classification,” The scouting report continues. “Size might be a sticking point for some, but rare intangibles make him one of the top passers in the 2025 cycle as he constantly finds ways to move the chains. Tailor made for a modern spread attack that wants to push the pace and constantly challenge defenses.”

It might be a tall task to expect Salter or Lewis to replicate what Sanders did at quarterback for the school, as last season, he threw for 3,926 yards to go along with 35 touchdowns and eight interceptions. His first season was in 2023, where he, with his father in head coach Deion Sanders, took the college football world by storm.

The Colorado football team this season finished with a 9-3 record, ranked 23rd in the entire country, as they next have a bowl game against BYU on Dec. 28.
