Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter continue to be the talk of college football with Colorado after the team’s impressive 48-21 win over Central Florida, but the former HBCU quarterback is staying level-headed.
After the game, Sanders was asked how he stays so focused and manages to block out distractions.
The second-year Colorado quarterback thought for half a second and fired back.
“By remembering you were just an HBCU kid that couldn’t do it at a Power 5 level,” he said. “I don’t forget anything, I don’t forget what anybody said.”
Shedeur Sanders had an impressive stint at Jackson State, making a significant impact both on and off the field. Joining JSU in 2021, Sanders immediately made waves as a freshman by leading the Tigers to an undefeated regular season in the SWAC and capturing the conference title. His debut year concluded with a trip to the Celebration Bowl, though the team fell short of victory in the matchup of HBCU champions.
