Shilo Sanders, the safety for the Colorado Buffaloes, walked alongside his brother Shedeur Sanders, quarterback for the team, as they made their way back to the locker room before their game against Texas Tech on November 9th, 2024. The two brothers were focused and determined, ready to take on their opponents on the field.
During the game, while most of the players thought the play was over, Shilo Sanders kept going. He didn't hear a whistle, so he continued on, picking up a loose ball and running it into the end zone for a touchdown that solidified CU's 41-27 win over Texas Tech. It was a big moment for Shilo, who has had a challenging season, including missing three games due to injury.
CU's head coach Deion Sanders spoke highly of Shilo's determination and commitment to the game. He explained that the team practices playing until they hear the whistle, and Shilo exemplified this during the game. His game-sealing play helped the Buffs rise to No. 18 in the Associated Press rankings, just in time for their upcoming match against Utah at Folsom Field.
Shedeur Sanders, Shilo's brother and teammate, was thrilled to see his brother's success on the field. Shedeur shared that they had many talks about Shilo's mental and physical state throughout the season, and seeing him perform at his best was a proud moment for both of them.
