Shedeur Sanders leaves legacy; Colorado seeks new direction

Shedeur Sanders, a standout quarterback for Colorado, is already being missed as the team prepares for the upcoming season. His two seasons at the school were record-breaking, setting high standards for future players. As the 2023 college football season began, Colorado faced challenges after a tough 2022. New head coach Deion Sanders aimed to improve the team's performance. The team managed to win four games in 2023, a modest jump from their previous 1-11 record. However, real success came in 2024 when the team not only achieved bowl eligibility but also finished with a strong 9-4 record, marking their best season in almost ten years. Now, the team is looking towards the future while still feeling the impact of Shedeur and his teammate, Travis Hunter. Incoming freshman quarterback Julian Lewis is making waves by honoring Shedeur's famous touchdown celebration during practice. This gesture shows that Shedeur’s influence remains strong within the team. Looking ahead, Colorado is adjusting its lineup with an open quarterback competition. They are also working to strengthen their offensive line to compete effectively in the Big 12 Conference. As they move forward, the legacy of Shedeur and Travis will always be cherished by the team and its fans, especially as both players are projected to be top NFL draft picks next season.
