Shedeur Sanders, the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer and former Cincinnati Reds outfielder Deion Sanders, announced Monday via Twitter his commitment to the Florida Atlantic University Owls football team.
The Class of 2021 pro-style quarterback had offers from 25 schools, including Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Michigan, Tennessee and UCLA.
Deion Sanders hit .260 with 94 stolen bases in parts of four seasons for the Reds in 1994, 1995, 1997 and 2001.
Deion Sanders said on NFL Network during the week before April's 2020 NFL Draft that Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa would be his choice if he held the top pick.
