Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders has been away from the program recently as he battles an illness, according to a report from ESPN. Colorado’s annual summer camps began last week, but Sanders has been back in Texas dealing with the illness. Sanders’ son, Deion Sanders Jr., appeared on a YouTube livestream to give an update on his dad’s health recently. He noted that he was “feeling well.”
“He’ll tell y’all soon enough what he’s going through, what he went through,” Deion Jr. said in the video. “When we get back to Boulder, I don’t know. I’m waiting until my dad leaves. When he leaves, then I’ll go. Until then, I’m going to sit here with him.”
Not only is Deion Sanders missing Colorado football summer camps because of the illness, but he was also scheduled to speak at the Sickle Cell Disease Research and Educational Symposium on Sunday. He was unable to make it.
“Due to an unavoidable last-minute scheduling change, our originally scheduled Foundation Keynote Speaker, Deion Sanders ‘Coach Prime,’ is unable to attend,” the organization announced in a post. “We are grateful for his support and look forward to future opportunities to welcome him.”
