Deion Sanders' Daughter Makes Bold Decision After Major Personal Setback
As the Buffaloes conclude spring practices and set their sights on the 2025 season, head coach Deion Sanders is busy integrating a wave of new talent into Boulder's storied program.
The Buffs, fresh off a 9-4 campaign in 2024, have welcomed 13 high-school enrollees and 28 transfers, including standout quarterbacks Kaidon Salter and true freshman Julian Lewis.

Salter, a four-year starter at Liberty with 5,887 passing yards and 56 touchdowns, joins an offensive line anchored by returning first-team freshman All-American tackle Jordan Seaton.
Amid this professional resurgence, the Sanders family encountered a deeply personal challenge on Monday.
Sanders' eldest daughter, Deiondra Sanders, shared a sobering health update on X, "I will keep y'all updated on my new journey. I have two options a hysterectomy or Uterine Embolism. For obvious reasons I will be trying the second one. 🙏".
Deiondra starred alongside her family on Oxygen's "Prime Time Love" (2008-09) and OWN's "Deion's Family Playbook" (2014-15), and later appeared on "Paradise Hotel" in 2019.

Since June 2019, she has served as Director of Communications for SC3 Sports Management.
In August 2024, she welcomed her first son, Que, with R&B singer Jacquees.

After a brief tenure as an NFL Network analyst, Deiondra's father, Deion, transitioned to coaching, revitalizing Jackson State (2020-22) with two Celebration Bowl victories before taking the reins at Colorado in 2023.
In his second season, the Buffs jumped from a 1-11 record in 2022 to 9-4 in 2024, sending Heisman cornerback Travis Hunter and Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year Shedeur Sanders, Deion's youngest son, to the NFL.
