DENVER — University of Colorado coach Deion Sanders posted on social media Wednesday that “everything is OKAY” after not being able to attend football camps in Boulder so far this spring.
The 57-year-old coach’s health had come into question because of his extended absence. Sanders wrote on X that he was “truly blessed for the abundance of well wishes, for all the thoughts and all of the prayers. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!”
Sanders later added that he’s “excited to get back to Colorado to be at home with my staff, team & all associated to our program.” He said that once he arrives back in Boulder, he will provide further updates. He concluded his post with, “Until then, I’M COMING BABY, #CoachPrime.”
The school had no comment Wednesday or a reason for his absence. ESPN, citing a source it did not name, reported Tuesday that Sanders has been ill and out of the office recently.
While streaming live on YouTube over the weekend, Deion Sanders Jr. said his father remains at home in Texas and was “feeling well,” according to USA Today.
