Deion Sanders has his sights set on the next Shedeur, who possesses a mixture of Lamar Jackson and Mike Vick’s skills.
Deion Sanders has taken on the task of securing Colorado Buffalo’s next star quarterback for the upcoming 2025 college football season. The pressure is mounting as Shedeur Sanders, current starting QB, prepares to depart after this season and a suitable replacement must be found. Recognizing the crucial role QB plays in team success, Coach Prime is diligently searching high and low for talented prospects.
While on the quest, Deion Sanders and his team have taken notice of a particular 4-star quarterback prospect who is already committed to Notre Dame. Despite this commitment, this left-handed phenom’s on-field traits reminiscent of Shedeur’s have captured their attention enough to draw comparisons to NFL stars such as Lamar Jackson and Mike Vick with shades of Cam Newton’s poise and accuracy.
The next Shedeur has been discovered by Dein Sanders.
According to On3, Deuce Knight, a 4-star Notre Dame commit for the 2025 season has recently been offered by Colorado. At an impressive height of 6’5″ and weighing in at 200 lbs, Knight possesses exceptional athleticism combined with precision. His left-handed throws easily cut through defenses while his straight-line speed is remarkable – clocked at an impressive time of just 4.5 seconds in the 40-yard dash which leaves opponents stunned with awe! With his incredible vertical leap measuring up to be about41″, there’s no question that Knight exhibits outstanding levels of athletic prowess that are absolutely electrifying!
Knight expressed appreciation to On3 for Colorado’s offer, acknowledging that the staff has been actively pursuing him despite his commitment to Notre Dame. He recognized their efforts in trying to make up lost ground and compared himself with Shedeur, seeing potential similarities. Despite being committed to Notre Dame, Knight is open-minded about finding opportunities aligning with his vision for college career but recognizes Colorado faces tough competition in its pursuit of him.
The schools of Alabama, Ole Miss and South Carolina are all in contention.
Ole Miss, the school in Knight’s home state, continues to be a strong contender for his talents. One of the draws is the opportunity to play in front of passionate Mississippi fans and learn from offensive-minded head coach Lane Kiffin. In addition, Alabama’s renowned football program has expressed interest in recruiting Knight as a centerpiece under new head coach Kalen DeBoer. With an existing relationship with DeBoer and inspiration from left-handed quarterback Michael Penix Jr., Knight finds himself amidst multiple enticing offers.
Offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains is touting his NFL background and pointing to the Senior Bowl success of Spencer Rattler as reasons for South Carolina being a compelling option for Knight.
