Shedeur Sanders on recruiting trail for Deion? Colorado Legend makes appearance at OT7 Finals originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
With the NFL preseason in a dead period before training camp, Shedeur Sanders has a lot of time on his hands. The former Colorado quarterback made headlines for back-to-back speeding tickets in Cleveland, but he also made a pop-up appearance as a coach at the OT7 Camp in Miami this weekend.

Sanders joined Robert Griffin III out on the field in front of some of the nation’s top rising talent, including a few Colorado targets and commits. The public appearance begs the question if he was there to seal a few deals on behalf of his father? One of the Buffs biggest targets has been Alabama five-star receiver Cederian Morgan. Who better than Sanders to set the record straight on QB play at Colorado?
Morgan is expected to announce his commitment this week and has Coach Prime and the Buffs on his final list. He recently made a surprise visit to Boulder and even commented on why Colorado is a worthy contender. “Just how Coach Prime carries himself and you know, the way he carries his team and the standard that he set that is great to me,” Morgan said. “I feel like he is building a very special program.”
Shedeur brings a level of star power with him and has carried a steady recruiting hand with him throughout his playing career. The ‘Grown’ QB was mostly responsible for flipping Travis Hunter from Florida State to Jackson State. It started with a series of conversations and ended in a successful Heisman win last year at Colorado. Sanders was even instrumental in getting Julian Lewis at Colorado. The two signal-callers bonded over football and the idea of the highly-touted five-star being the heir apparent quarterback to take over in Boulder.
If Sanders was on hand to convince Morgan, four-star receiver Jordan Clay, or a handful of others why Colorado is best, that’s a next-level approach and outstanding tactic that should be used more often.

With Deion Sanders sidelined with an unknown health issue, the Buffs need all the recruiting help they can get going into next year. If Morgan commits to Colorado, it would be one of the biggest wins and the addition of another five-star to the roster.
