Coach Prime Deion Sanders isn’t leaving any stone unturned in his preparation for the 2024 season. In their last season, the Colorado Buffs suffered both in offense and defense but the team’s dismal offense has cost Coach Prime a lot, including having to see his son Shedeur Sanders getting sacked 52 times. But enough is enough.

One of the main concepts of Coach Prime’s obsession with fortifying the offensive line is to provide better backup to the team’s star player Shedeur Sanders. Deion Sanders is transparent about his concern for his QB son who needs more protection during the game. Bagging this valuable Indiana OL among other newly committed recruits will hopefully give Deion Sanders and the Buffs what they’re looking for.

OL Matthew Bedford commits to Coach Prime & Co. 

A recent Twitter post by On3 Sports announced the newest OL who’ll be joining Coach Prime in 2024. Just days after securing 5-star No. 1 offensive tackle Jordan Seaton, he’s made another elite addition to the Colorado Buffs’ offensive line. His newest recruit is Indiana offensive lineman Matthew Bedford, the 6th highest-graded OL in the Big Ten in 2023.

Matthew Bedford is the latest offensive lineman who committed to Coach Prime’s Colorado in 7 days. A 3-star prospect, the newly committed OL played at Cordova (TN) High School and was the No. 820 overall recruit in the 2019 class. Hopefully, his presence along with the other new offense team recruits, will write a different story for Colorado in 2024.

Coach Prime is hustling for the 2024 season

In his debut season as Colorado head coach, Deion Sanders saw the rise and fall of the Buffs as they ended the season with a sad record of 68.9 rushing yards per game and allowed 176.4 yards per game. Colorado finished the season below the expectations of fans as they fell 4-8. But Coach Prime remains hopeful and grateful that he has learned a lesson from his one season.

Deion Sanders stated the top two priorities that the Buffs need for 2024. He said, “We gotta run the football and we gotta stop the run.” With the opening of the transfer portal and the latest addition, Colorado secured 10 players into their team, including one 5-star and three 4-star players. 

This major change in their roster could make or break the Colorado Buffaloes. But Coach Prime’s confidence and positive outlook for the future of the Buffs is contagious. All we gotta do now is wait for when they’ll hit the field together as a team.
