USA Today reported that Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes were hit with a NCAA recruiting violation. As discussed further on the popular X profile “On3Sports,” the violation appears to be a minor one stemming from Coach Prime’s comments about Julian Lewis before the high school QB was eligible to commit to the school.

"Colorado self-reported this violation and decided to impose corrective measures as a result, including additional rules education for Sanders, the head coach, and a reduction of four recruiting-person days in the spring 2025 contact period," Schrotenboer wrote.
