When people talk about the Sanders family in Colorado, they usually focus on Shedeur throwing passes or Shilo flying around on defense. However, Deion Sanders Jr., popularly known as Bucky, is another Sanders who is making just as much noise behind the camera. Bucky, Coach Prime’s oldest son, was a wide receiver and return specialist at SMU. These days, he’s replaced his cleats with a camera, and fans can’t get enough of the behind-the-scenes look he’s providing.
Bucky’s ability to carve out his own niche in Boulder is what sets him apart. He has discovered a different way to make an impression, while the rest of the family gets attention through highlight reels or fiery press conferences. Bucky’s role is more subdued yet just as important in comparison to chasing attention, providing Colorado football fans with a glimpse of what they rarely get to see.
In a recent episode of Well Off Media, the Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders praised his brother Bucky, saying, “I got my other brother right here, too. Junior, stand up. He does all that social media. So, all the stuff you’ve been seeing, that’s him.” In a rare moment captured on camera, Shedeur revealed that Bucky’s steady hand and creative vision are largely responsible for the excitement, energy, and behind-the-scenes insights that are driving Colorado’s buzz.

Bucky has transformed Colorado’s practices, locker room banter, and Coach Prime’s fierce speeches into Buff Nation must-watch episodes through his Well Off Media vlogs. In addition to capturing football, he is also creating a narrative and influencing CU football’s perception. Bucky’s videos, with their sharp camerawork and playful editing style, have become the heartbeat of the “Prime Effect,” earning him a fan base and a lot of praise online.
“The 1 ! @deionsandersjr has changed the game completely. @welloffmedia Proud of ya and Love ya son! #Dad/CoachPrime,” Deion Sanders said in an IG post. Deion made it clear that Bucky is doing more than just filming; he is changing the way people think of Colorado football. The Sanders family isn’t the only one that has noticed the impact. Fans believe that Bucky gives them the impression that they are there with the team at every step.

They need to be all in this year. Big one two…” These behind-the-scenes glimpses are more than just entertainment for a fan base eager for a new era of Colorado football; they feed the buzz leading up to kickoff.
