Deion Sanders’ children are continuing the legacy of success that started with their NFL Hall Of Fame father.
During the opening weekend of college football for the University of Colorado, Sheduer Sanders put on a show, throwing for 445 yards and 4 touchdowns in a 31-26 nail-biting win against North Dakota State.
He also rocked his dad’s classic Nike Vapor Edge DT ’96 TD cleats, which were a nod to the sneaker version that dropped earlier this summer. Sheduer is poised to have another breakout season as he prepares to dominate college football with the plans of getting drafted in the next NFL draft.
Sheduer Sanders isn’t just making big plays on the field, he also paving the way in business as well. On Wednesday, the Buffaloes’ star QB became the first NCAA football player to sign an NIL deal with Nike.
Sheduer recently spoke about his dad’s legacy on his podcast saying, “I want to build on it. Have like a different version,” he said. “It’s more about what could be passed down year after year after year after year.”
Shilo Sanders, who also plays Saftey for the University of Colorado, stood out in his own way against North Dakota State, compiling 6 solo tackles with 3 assists.
While the younger Sanders boys were dominating on the field, Deion’s oldest boy Deion Sanders Jr. continued to run the content game, managing content for the Colorado football team.

In 2023, Deion Sanders went under the knife to treat two blood clots that were obstructing blood flow to his toes. Thankfully, with love and support from all five of his children, the famous football star returned home on June 24 and is now recovering.
While he was undergoing surgery, Coach Prime’s family posted get well messages to help with his speedy recovering. The Hall of Famer’s eldest son, Deion Sanders Jr., uploaded an emotional video of the coach’s empty office at UC. “It’s not the same without you man,” the 29-year-old said as he walked around his father’s office filled with awards from his decorated career and inspirational quotes.
“Get well soon mane,” he captioned the short video.
Video footage shared to Sander’s profile captured the doting father laughing and chatting with sons Shilo, 23, Shedeur, 21, and daughters Deiondra and Shelomi from his hospital bed as he recovered from his procedure.
The love didn’t stop there.
After the father of five was released on Monday, his children surprised him with a new icy chain. “Had to have him shining as soon as he came out of surgery,” Sanders Jr. wrote of the adorable surprise.
The former Major League Baseball player has won several accolades throughout his amazing career, but being a father maybe his biggest feat yet. Sander, 55, shares his eldest daughter Deiondra, 31 and son Deion Jr. with ex-wife Carolyn Chambers. The legendary Jackson State coach is also a proud father to the three amazing children he shares with second wife, Pilar Biggers-Sanders: sons Shilo, Shedeur and daughter Shelomi, 18.
The star’s children are following down their father’s path to greatness, too. Both of his daughter’s played professional basketball and all three of sons have picked up their dad’s love for the game of football. The lucky dad has had the honor of coaching his sons Shilo and Shedeur at Jackson State and now, Colorado University.
During an interview with PEOPLE 21-year-old Shedeur gave the scoop on what’s its like working with his father out on the field.
“Whenever we step on the grass, practice, game, it doesn’t even matter, he’s a whole different man and I’m a whole different person, too,” the college athlete revealed. “So after the game whenever we walk off the field, outside of white lines then it’s dad and that. But when we get on the field it’s straight coach.”
Here’s everything we know about Coach Prime’s big brood.
