Press Release: Colorado Football Coach Deion Sanders Eyes New QB for 2025 Season
Colorado head football coach Deion Sanders is set to make significant changes to his quarterback lineup for the 2025 season. As rumors circulate, it appears that QB1 Shedeur Sanders will be replaced by either transfer Kaidon Salter or four-star freshman Julian Lewis. Speculation has arisen regarding the potential for Tennessee transfer Nico Iamaleava to join the Buffaloes, although sources indicate that this is highly unlikely.
On3’s Sam Gillenwater noted that while Iamaleava might have been a compelling option for Colorado, his recent troubles with Tennessee’s Josh Heupel could hinder his prospects at other schools. Gillenwater elaborated, stating, “Iamaleava will likely have limited options" due to SEC transfer rules and existing commitments at other programs.
In the wake of these developments, Coach Prime is reportedly committed to both Salter, who previously played at Liberty, and Lewis, who boasts a notable NIL deal and even has a burger named after him at a popular local restaurant, "The Sink." This loyalty to the newly acquired talent suggests that Coach Sanders is focused on building a robust quarterback future for the Buffaloes.
Warren Sapp has also encouraged Salter, emphasizing the responsibility he carries for the university’s aspirations. Despite the buzz surrounding Iamaleava, insiders confirm that he was never a viable option for the Buffs, especially after the signing of Salter and Lewis.
As Colorado looks toward the next season, all eyes will be on how Coach Sanders shapes the team’s quarterback lineup while navigating the ongoing landscape of college football’s transfer portal and player commitments.
