Deion Sanders, the 57-year-old head coach of the University of Colorado football team, is currently recovering from an unspecified health issue at his home in Texas. Coach Prime’s absence from Colorado’s summer football camps and a speaking engagement in Florida sparked concern, but Sanders has now broken his silence with a reassuring message.
In a heartfelt post on social media, Sanders wrote:
“Wow, I am truly blessed for the abundance of well wishes, for all the thoughts and all of the prayers. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!”
He continued by assuring fans:
“I can assure you all that everything is OKAY and will continue to be so. God got me like no other. I have so much more work to do to Glorify God so please believe God got me!”
“I’M COMING BABY”
Sanders also expressed his eagerness to return to Boulder:
“I’m excited to get back to Colorado to be at home with my staff, team & all associated to our program. When we arrive back to Boulder you will be updated on everything. Until then, I’M COMING BABY, #CoachPrime.”
🩺 Concern Over His Absence
Sanders’ no-shows at key events had raised alarms, with officials citing “last-minute scheduling changes” and “medical reasons” without further explanation. While the exact nature of his condition remains private, his positive update has put fans at ease.
Support From the Sports Community
Athletes, fans, and fellow coaches flooded social media with prayers and support for the Hall of Famer. Sanders, who has undergone multiple foot surgeries in recent years, remains one of the most visible and passionate figures in college football today.
📌 For now, Coach Prime is resting, healing, and promising a return with even more purpose. As he says — “God got me.”
