The upcoming season will see the son of a former WWE star joining Deion Sanders’ team.
Gage Goldberg, son of wrestling legend Bill Goldberg, has made a commitment to Colorado via ESPN. Initially, Gage had pledged to Alabama as a preferred walk-on, ensuring him a spot on the team without a scholarship.
Hailing from Boerne, Texas, the 6-foot, 215-pound linebacker has opted to walk on at Colorado, changing his commitment after the surprising retirement announcement from Nick Saban that shook the college football world.
There’s a notable connection between Sanders and Bill Goldberg, as they were teammates on the Atlanta Falcons in 1992 and 1993. Bill Goldberg, the senior, had a college football career at Georgia before transitioning through the NFL and other professional leagues.

He later became a wrestling icon in WCW and WWE, earning induction into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018.
Deion Sanders, known for his affinity for star power, is likely to draw additional attention to his program with the addition of Goldberg’s son to the team.
