Despite Colorado football quarterback Antwann Hill Jr.’s commitment. in 2025, says Coach Prime will give him the keys to the Buffs’ offense when Shedeur Sanders leaves the program, Jake Shapiro of Denver Sports believes Deion Sanders and Co. will still keep an eye on the transfer portal or potentially a more experienced upgrade. NFL Draft this spring but will likely remain on campus for his senior season in 2024,” Shapiro opened before saying, “That means a smooth transition between Sanders and Hill, though, of course, it still feels like Coach Prime is looking at the transfer portal.
Handing the ball to Shedeur, who has been established for two years at Jackson State, is a very different prospect than handing the ball to a proven entity at the high school level who has not yet taken over at the college level . Then again, it’s not like the Buffs QB room has as much depth behind Sanders as it does. Maybe Hill is the plan.
Communication key in Antwann Hill Jr.’s Colorado football commitment
If Coach Prime overpromised Hill to get him to choose Colorado and is set to underdeliver, the program could lose goodwill with recruits who won’t take the Buffs head coach’s words seriously in the future.
“What led me there is, first, their communication,” Hill said of why he chose Colorado (h/t On3). “They always communicated with me since the time 12:
00 am hit that morning on Aug 1st. To sum it up I can tell they really care about me and want me to take over the program when Shedeur leaves. So whenever coach Prime said that, I knew he was being 100% honest with me and I knew I would be a fool not take this opportunity that coach Prime had provided me with.”
If that was merely an empty promise from Coach Prime to the Warner Robins (GA) Houston County High star, with a transfer portal option able to swoop in and take all of that away, the Deion attacks will only intensify.
