As Shedeur faced the media in the press conference about the Buffaloes’ upcoming Spring season, he shared his tale about facing doubt about his ability to compete at the high level because of having a private school background. Shedeur further shared, “No, I’ve been seeing a light since day one since I’ve been in college overall. Since when I got to the platform and I came from a private school. So at the end of the day, I dealt with a lot of negativity a lot of hate a lot of everything I done”.

Reflecting on the past, however, the quarterback pointed out the remarkable absence of his former peers who embarked on a traditional path to enter professional football programs. But Shedeur remained undeterred: “All the other kids were going big you know power five and they went to Big 6A Texas 6A schools and stuff I don’t see those same kids around I don’t see them excelling in their programs and whatever they’re do doing. So I always been against the odds like in different ways.” This opens up the discussion about Coach Prime’s aspirations for his son in detail.
