BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Colorado coach Deion Sanders and his quarterback son, Shedeur, have taken to social media in response to a transfer being critical of how players were treated at the school. Former Buffaloes defensive back Xavier Smith said in a recent article published by The Athletic that Deion Sanders “never even tried to get to know me,” and that he “was destroying guys’ confidence and belief in themselves.” Shedeur Sanders responded on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, by saying he didn’t remember Smith. Sanders posted, “Bro had to be very mid at best.” Smith was hampered by injuries for the Buffaloes. He earned freshman All-America honors at FCS Austin Peay in 2023 and has since followed coach Scotty Walden to UTEP. The Shedeur Sanders post sparked back-and-forth exchanges that amplified Smith’s complaints. Colorado receiver Kaleb Mathis posted a video of himself getting the better of Smith in a practice last spring, and Smith’s Austin Peay teammate, Jaheim Ward, noted that Mathis had just 38 receiving yards last season. |
