Did you know that Deion Sanders has a sister whom he loves to the moon and back? As his only sibling sharing the same father in Mims Sanders, Tracie Knight and Coach Prime shared lots of memories growing up with their mother Connie Knight and stepfather Willie Knight in Fort Myers, FL. And now, celebration is in the air as his sister is blessed with another year of life.

Deion Sanders’ relationship with his sister is beautiful as she paved the way for the current Buffs HC to develop mentorship skills from a young age. He would be like his sister’s shadow to protect her from anything and everything. Coach Prime even has an adorable nickname for her called Barks which he usually uses to feature her on social media from time to time. This heart-touching birthday wish only accentuates his affection for Tracie Knight.

In his recent IG story on July 25, Coach Prime happily put Tracie Knight on the pedestal on her big day saying, “HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BLESSED BLESSED BIRTHDAY TO MY SISTER Tracie Knight!!!” He also went on to explain why there’s no picture of her in his post saying “She don’t like pictures.” But the love and admiration for his sister is clear as he wrote, “She is the Absolute BEST SISTER I could’ve prayed for. She takes care of the whole darn family!!! Love you Barks and I appreciate u.”

Such a sweet birthday message for a loved one. As her social media description suggests, Tracie Knight is a Florida native currently living in Texas. She is married and is a happy mother of two beautiful children, Tia and TJ Hendrix. While she may not have the interest to bask in the spotlight like Deion Sanders, we are sure that she’s an equally amazing human being like Coach Prime. With that said, let’s dig deeper into her life and bond with Coach Prime.

More about Deion Sanders’ only sibling – Tracie Knight

Born on July 24, 1970, Tracie Knight is three years younger than Deion Sanders whose coaching history began with mentoring her. In a throwback interview, Coach Prime revealed the role his sister played in his early life. He said, “I remember taking her to church when we were kids, making sure she’d sit up and don’t talk or chew gum, and to do the right thing and make the proper choices in life. And now she’s helping me with everything.”

Coming to Tracie, she prefers living her life low key in her country residence in North Texas in contrast to the flashy Coach Prime. She’s the one who plays a crucial role as the Sanders family business manager in addition to other entrepreneurial ventures. We join her brother in wishing her the best birthday on her special day.
