Coach Prime could very well be taking his talents to the Power 5 in the coming days. According to multiple reports, Deion Sanders—currently the coach of Jackson State—is set to take over the program at Colorado.

In recent days, sources have told Sports Illustrated that they are expecting Sanders to take the Buffaloes job, barring a late change of plans. The announcement is not expected until after Saturday’s SWAC championship game between Jackson State and Southern, but he has reportedly started making preparations for his staff at the Pac-12 program, and has gone so far as to tell a high-profile recruit in the NCAA transfer portal to hold off on making a decision because of the potential move.
