Deion Sanders' Colorado Prepares Leadership Shift for 2025 Season

Blair Buswell, a former BYU running back turned professional sculptor, has become the lead sculptor for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, having created over 130 busts of Hall of Fame inductees, including the Class of 2025 members Eric Allen and Jared Allen. His bronze works extend beyond football, featuring statues of icons like golfer Jack Nicklaus, basketball legend John Wooden, and baseball great Mickey Mantle, as well as notable figures from Utah State University and Latter-day Saint leaders displayed in the “Hall of the Prophets.” Buswell’s artistic career was protected early on by a team surgeon who crafted special hand pads for him during his football days. Meanwhile, in college football, Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders is navigating a significant transition at Colorado as he seeks a new quarterback to replace his son Shedeur Sanders, focusing on leadership and consistency in candidates Kaidon Salter and freshman Julian Lewis. Sanders emphasized that completions and leadership are key quarterback traits for his team’s rebuilding efforts in 2025, highlighting the challenge of finding the right fit to sustain the program’s momentum.
