Deion Sanders prepares for his most anticipated return
On his BetOnline show, Jones shared encouraging news, “Deion is doing well. He has one more week at home before coming back. He’ll be ready for the season.”
This statement sparked positive excitement among Buffaloes fans, who are eager to see their charismatic leader back on the sidelines.
Silence, recovery, and signs of a powerful comeback
Since news broke of his health concerns, Deion Sanders has kept a low profile. In a rare podcast appearance with Asante Samuel, he admitted to losing weight and being in recovery.
“I haven’t done media in a while. I needed this,” he said, hinting at the emotional and physical toll of his time away from the spotlight.
During his absence, figures like Michael Irvin, Lil Wayne, and Travis Hunter have been by his side, checking on him and sharing moments of camaraderie.

Irvin, his former teammate on the Dallas Cowboys, was clear, “I’ve never seen Deion Sanders quit. He’s coming back, and he’s coming back strong.”
Although his presence at the upcoming Big 12 Media Days in Texas has not been confirmed, the event’s proximity to his home could make it easier for him to attend, something fans and reporters are eagerly anticipating.
The Buffaloes are set to open the 2025 season on August 29 against Georgia Tech, and if the forecasts from Jones and Irvin prove true, it will be with Deion Sanders leading the charge.
A comeback that would not only mark the beginning of a new campaign but also the return of one of the most captivating figures in college sports today.
