Deion Sanders to confront exit rumors, health concerns in major Colorado update.
Confidant Details Deion Sanders’ Press Conference Agenda Amid Colorado Departure Buzz originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
After weeks of speculation surrounding his future, Deion Sanders is back in Boulder and set to address the media in a highly anticipated press conference. Persistent rumors about Sanders stepping away from Colorado due to ongoing health concerns have fueled uncertainty, but according to his longtime confidant, “Uncle Neely,” today’s event will set the record straight.
Neely, who has remained close to Sanders throughout his coaching career, offered a preview of what fans and critics alike can expect. “It was one of those no-camera team meetings so that Coach Prime could talk to the team,” Neely said. “He's probably put something out on his Instagram, a clip from Bucky [Deion Sanders Jr.].
"So tomorrow's press conference, it's just going to be one of those things where a lot of the naysayers and player haters are really going to get to know what's been going on for the past 60 to 90 days with Coach Prime and what he fought through and overcame."

Sanders, who has battled serious health issues in recent years, including multiple surgeries and the partial amputation of two toes, has been relatively quiet this offseason. His absence from spring practices and summer events only intensified speculation that his days at Colorado could be numbered.
However, his return to campus and Neely’s comments suggest that Sanders is ready to reaffirm his commitment to the Buffaloes. The press conference is expected to address not just his health but also his outlook for the 2025 season.
Colorado enters the year with key changes, including the loss of stars Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders to the NFL and the arrival of transfer quarterback Kaidon Salter from Liberty, who is competing with Julian Lewis for the team's starting job.
With the press conference positioned as a moment of transparency, it could help reshape the public's perception of Sanders’ current status. For a coach who’s often in the spotlight, this appearance might be his most revealing yet.
