Deion Sanders makes a surprise appearance at Alabama A&M for his daughter

Last Saturday night, Deion Sanders made a surprise visit to Alabama A&M University to watch his daughter, Shelomie Sanders, and the Lady Bulldogs defeat Alabama State University, 54-47, at the Event Center in Huntsville, Alabama. last year, Shelomi Sanders left Colorado for Alabama A&M.

Coach Prime shared the special moment on social media, writing, “I surprised my Babygirl @shelomisanders yesterday at Alabama A&M! It was epic and they won. It was all about the HBCU vibe. dr. Bryant thank you for helping me make my baby happen yesterday! Love everything you have shown me love. God bless. #CoachPrime”

Shelomi Sanders, AAMU’s backup point guard, played a key role in the win with 7 minutes of action, recording one assist and one steal. The Dallas native made a strong impact on the court, averaging 6 points and 15 minutes per game. Sanders left the Colorado Buffaloes women’s basketball program after transferring from Jackson State to join her father and brothers, Scheder and Sheel.

In a season full of milestones for her father, Coach Prime’s passion for his family remains a priority. Coach Dawn Thornton is in her first season at Alabama A&M after several successful years at the University of Arkansas at Pine-Bluff, and the Lady Bulldogs have excelled under her leadership. They currently hold an 11-6 overall record and are 4-1 in the SVAC, with their only loss coming in a 65-55 loss to Jackson State on January 9th.

While Coach Prime continues to support his kids, his future as a coach remains in the spotlight. Adam Schefter reported during halftime of the NFC Wild Card game between the Rams and Vikings that Deion Sanders and the Dallas Cowboys have discussed him as a potential candidate to replace Mike McCarthy as head coach. “There’s mutual interest there,” Schefter said. “And I go back to about a year and a half ago when the former general manager told me, look at Deion Sanders. There is a real possibility that he will be the next coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

Sanders himself has made it clear that his interest in NFL coaching is closely tied to his sons. “The only way I would consider coaching my SONS,” Sanders said, stressing the importance of coaching his children in a recent interview with Good Morning America. “I don’t follow them; but you have to think about it logically as a father,” he added on the Million Dollar Game podcast.

Given the possibility of Coach Prime coaching his sons in the NFL, he is also keeping his options open. According to Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Sanders is reportedly interested in the Las Vegas Raiders head coaching vacancy. “He has a very strong interest in the job,” Bonsignore said, and Sanders’ NFL-related associates have come forward to express his interest.

While Deion Sanders has yet to make a final decision, one thing is clear, his love for his family will always be in the spotlight. As he continues to make waves in the college football world, it’s clear that his dedication to his children and their success remains his top priority.
