2. Shedeur Sanders makes All-Pac-12 team
From all reports, Shedeur Sanders has been killing it in fall camp thus far. He’s been the QB1 since spring and it’s his job to lose. And spoiler: he’s not going to lose his starting job.
For the past two years, he’s been dominating at the FCS level for his dad at Jackson State. So when Deion Sanders took the job at Colorado, it was a no-brainer for the former four-star to follow his dad to Boulder. It’s a move that will not only put him on the map but will likely boost his draft stock tenfold.
Yes, even though he’s on a roster that’s not exactly one of the best in the Pac-12 this season.
But Sanders does have some solid weapons in the receiving corps, including Travis Hunter who plans to star on both sides of the ball. I expect him to be one of the nation’s top players and a two-way superstar.
I see Sanders passing for over 3,000 yards and 20-plus touchdowns, making one of the All-Pac-12 teams this season.
