As the head coach of CU Buffs, Coach Prime has been under fire lately because of the departure of several players. Despite criticism for player departures, Deion Sanders ensured his compassionate side was not dead. He recently showed vulnerability by seeking updates and offering prayers for an injured social media influencer.

News broke Thursday about a shooting and crash on Martin Luther King Boulevard, with one victim hospitalized. On May 3, reports identified the victim as Rasheen Bailey, a popular Florida fisherman. Learning of the incident, a visibly shocked Deion Sanders showcased his heartfelt empathy online. He expressed deep concern and later shared positive news of his “brother’s” recovery.

Coach Prime extends prayers to Florida fisherman

Rasheen Bailey, CEO of HoodFishing Entertainment, recently went viral for a video showcasing his daring handling of a large live shark. When news broke of his presence in a gun shooting, friends and fans flooded social media seeking updates. Coach Prime also joined this outpouring of concern, posting: “Can someone please give me an update on @hoodfishing_entertainment on IG. Please, he’s not answering his phone please let me know he’s ok. Please.”

Reports describe a crash scene involving a pickup truck and sedan, with the sedan showing shattered windows and bullet holes. While the Fort Myers police’s investigation continued, Coach Prime offered encouraging news to Bailey’s well-wishers. “Thank u all, just found out he is alive and recovering. Please pray for my brother please. God bless u all that care and those of u that will need that same type of attention and prayer sooner or later,” he posted. Interestingly, Bailey isn’t just a viral fisherman – records from his time at Cape Coral High School reveal him as a football player. This connection deepens the story, as Deion Sanders, a legendary football figure, also shares Bailey’s passion for fishing.

Sanders’ crew could use a fishing trip

Coach Prime rose to fame in the NFL, playing both football and baseball — a unique skill set that boosted his net worth. But his talents extend beyond the field as he’s also a passionate bass angler. Even before leading the Buffs, Sanders made headlines by landing a 4-pound bass in Mexico just minutes into a fishing trip. “I love fishing. I go fishing every chance I get” he said.

Sanders has fished since childhood and owns Lake Prime in Boulder, Colorado, where even Buffs stars like Travis Hunter and Shedeur have cast their lines. As the team navigates the choppy waters of the transfer portal, a fishing break could be just what Sanders and his squad need to recharge. While Deion Sanders’ empathy shines through, balancing his coaching duties with his love for fishing could be key to maintaining his spirits high and leading the Buffs forward.
