Heading into the 2026 season, coach Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes could be poised for a much better showing and could potentially become more competitive force in the Big 12. Off of the field, Sanders has had some issues with his health, undergoing a variety of procedures occurring over the past few years, but Coach Prime has revealed an update that many Colorado fans will love and be thankful for.

I got my health back, I got my swagger back,” Sanders said on an appearance on Good Morning America.Sanders has been open about his health battle with the variety of procedures he has undergone and talked about what it has taken to get to this point. The procedures that he has had include a bladder removal and reconstruction that took place in July 2025, which ultimately helped him to become cancer-free. Coach Prime also had a few procedures done to remove blood clots while at Colorado. Even through all the adversity that Sanders has faced, he has still been able to coach Colorado’s players, but above all, he has been a great mentor and role model for the players to follow. As Sanders and Colorado prepare for the 2026 season, it will be interesting to see how much the Buffaloes can improve and what impact he will have on the program on the field as well as off of it.
