It’s time for fall camp to get going in college football, but the story surrounding Colorado football has been off the field throughout the offseason. Head coach Deion Sanders has been dealing with an undisclosed health issue and has been away from the team while staying back in Texas for most of the summer.

Sanders also posted a reassuring message on social media upon his return to Boulder.

“Back and Feeling Great!” Sanders wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Colorado is in a transition period after losing Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter to the NFL, and now Sanders is navigating a new era of his coaching career. With an offseason hampered by this issue, he is already a bit behind the 8-ball in that endeavor.
