LEGENDARY. That’s all Shedeur Sanders needed to say on IG—and honestly, it said it all. Colorado just made it official: they’re retiring the No. 2 and No. 12 jerseys. That’s Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter. That’s the heart and soul of the Buffaloes’ wild turnaround. The ceremony is set for April 19 during the team’s spring game. But the party? Already started on IG. Warren Sapp and Deion Sanders Jr. both dropped likes on the post — quiet but powerful nods from a Hall of Famer and the Prime legacy. That’s not just love. That’s recognition.
This isn’t just some random honor. 2 years ago, Colorado was flatlining — 1-11, no juice, no future. Then came Coach Prime with the ultimate plot twist. He brought the flash, the fire, and his sons with him — one by blood, the other by bond. Shedeur balled out. 4,134 yards, 37 TDs, only 10 picks, and four rushing scores to top it off. Ice in his veins. Travis? Straight cheat code. 96 receptions, 1,258 yards, 15 TDs on offense. And on defense? 23 tackles, three picks, 11 passes defended — and a Heisman to his name. Playing both ways like it’s nothing.
The result? A 9-4 season and Colorado knocking on the door of the Big 12 title game. Just missed it on a tiebreaker, but they sent a message loud and clear: Prime Time brought prime results. Now, those numbers — 2 and 12 — are now set to join the elite list with Byron White, Joe Romig, Bobby Anderson, and Rashaan Salaam. And Colorado said it best: “No. 2 & No. 12 Officially Untouchable.” This ain’t just a jersey retirement. It’s a legacy stamp. And with Warren Sapp now on the coaching staff and Deion Jr. always repping the brand, this moment feels bigger than football. It’s a family movement. A culture shift. And Shedeur? Just one word needed. LEGENDARY.
