Shedeur Sanders, one of the hottest quarterback prospects in college football, reminded the world of his immense talent on Saturday during Colorado Buffaloes’ dramatic overtime victory against the Baylor Bears. The son of head coach Deion Sanders delivered a performance that lit up social media, further cementing his rising star status in the college football world.
With time expiring in regulation, Sanders launched a 43-yard bomb to wide receiver LaJohntay Wester, connecting with zero seconds left on the clock to tie the game and force overtime. It was a jaw-dropping moment that had fans and commentators buzzing.
Once in overtime, Colorado’s offense took care of business, and the Buffaloes’ defense stepped up to shut down Baylor’s chances, securing an exhilarating 38-31 victory. It was a defining win for Coach Prime’s squad, adding another thrilling chapter to their season.
Shedeur’s performance was nothing short of spectacular. He finished the game with 341 passing yards, two touchdowns, and even added a rushing touchdown to his stat line. His poise under pressure and ability to deliver in clutch moments once again proved why he’s considered one of the most exciting players in college football today.
But the night was far from over for Sanders and the Buffaloes. After the game, the team returned to the locker room for a celebration that only Deion Sanders’ squad could pull off.
In true Colorado style, rapper Babyface Ray made a surprise appearance, performing in the middle of the locker room as the team reveled in their win.

The highlight of the celebration, though, came when Shedeur took to the makeshift stage to rap along to his own song, “Perfect Timing,” which he had released over the summer. The moment perfectly captured the confidence, swagger, and camaraderie that have come to define this Colorado team under Coach Prime’s leadership.
There’s no party like a Colorado locker room party, and after such a thrilling victory, the Buffs had every reason to turn up. The celebration was a fitting end to a night that showcased Shedeur Sanders’ growing legacy on the field and his ability to lead his team in the biggest moments.
With the win, Colorado improves its record, and now the team looks ahead to a trip to Orlando, where they’ll face the UCF Knights in their next challenge.
But for now, Shedeur and the Buffs are riding high, proving that they’re not just contenders—they’re showstoppers.
