NEW YORK — If anybody knows Deion Sanders’ mind, it might be Travis Hunter.

And the two-way football star for the University of Colorado says Coach Prime is indeed staying put with the Buffaloes.

“I’ve got a lot of insight. He ain’t going nowhere. He’s going to be right where he’s at right now,” Hunter said Friday in Manhattan, where he’s a heavy favorite to win the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night.

In his second season at the school, Sanders has coached No. 20 Colorado to a 9-3 record and its first bowl bid since 2020. The Buffaloes will face No. 17 BYU (10-2) in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 28 in San Antonio.

Sanders’ success and popularity in Boulder has led to speculation the flashy and outspoken former NFL star might seek or accept a coaching job elsewhere this offseason. Sanders, however, has dismissed such talk himself.
